Salisbury Plant Explosion Injures One Man


An explosion at a construction plant in Salisbury, Massachusetts left a 48-year-old man injured.

The explosion occurred at the SPS New England plant on Elm Street in Salisbury (see the location on the map).




NECN reported that the injured man, Dennis Chagnon, 48, of Alton, New Hampshire was repairing a work boat with a welding equipment when trapped fumes from the repairs exploded.
 

Chagnon, who is a 15-year employee at the plant and a certified welder, was taken to Anna Jaques Hospital in Newburyport for treatment for a broken leg and other minor injuries.

Luckily, no one else was hurt in the Salisbury explosion. We hope Dennis Chagnon will have a full and speedy recovery from his injuries.


Officials are still investigating the cause of the incident.

Crime Scene Details for Your ATM Lawsuit

Negligence at ATMs increases the likelihood of violent crime. That's why banks use security lighting, locks and 9-1-1 links to keep automated teller machine areas safe for users.

If you've been robbed or assaulted at an ATM, what can you do to prove negligent security? Evaluate details of the event with your attorney:

  • Note or recall the exact time of day.
  • Recall whether lights were on.
  • Note or revisit the scene immediately to check for sightline obstructions near the ATM.


The ATM owner must have the proper level of security for the time of day. Obstructions such as overgrown shrubbery, dumpsters or vehicles that could obscure criminals or the view of witnesses could legitimize a negligence lawsuit.

Browse the library for more information about inadequate security at ATMs.

When you are interviewing Boston personal injury attorneys ask critical questions, like: how long have you been practicing; what is the largest settlement or verdict you've obtained, and do you have experience with ATM security cases.

The Law Office of Thomas M. Kiley, a law firm in Andover, Massachusetts, takes time when speaking with you about your case
and works with you on a contingent fee basis so there are NO FEES unless our trained personal injury lawyers wins your case. Call now for a FREE evaluation of your case-1-800-410-2769.

Crime Scene Evidence in ATM Lawsuits

When security negligence at ATMs draws criminals to the scene, serious personal injury or wrongful death can result for unsuspecting consumers.

If you or a loved one has been hurt due to violent crime at an ATM, check for evidence of security negligence as soon as possible as it may show liability claims against the property owner.

Use a camera to document conditions at the scene of the crime. The location of the ATM, the security lighting and any landscape obstructions that might have hid the robber are important to your premises liability case.

Documenting overgrown bushes or nearby bulky dumpsters that could hide a criminal is important evidence in a negligent security lawsuit. Your attorney can present photographs of injuries and the crime environment to the court to support your claims.

Browse the library for more information about inadequate security at ATMs.

Who Pays Damages in Negligent Security Lawsuits?

A negligent security lawsuit is one way in which victims of crime at ATMs and their surviving families seek compensation for their injuries. While criminal courts may punish perpetrators for physical or sexual assault, battery, theft and/or murder, civil lawsuits seek financial damages.

Doctor bills, hospital stays, physical and mental therapy, and related expenses may be extracted from the ATM property owner if negligent security was a factor in the crime. ATM safety negligence lawsuits may seek damages from:

  • Property owners
  • Property managers
  • Property renters
  • Bank directors
  • Security subcontractors
