Semi-truck Trailer Explosion

EFI Global responded to a semi-truck trailer explosion on a Friday morning. That same afternoon, another explosion came from a second trailer carrying the same cargo. Our professionals worked with the local fire department, EPA and Hazmat authorities to secure the scene and shut down the manufacturing plant producing the products. In order to maintain the plant’s production schedule, we assembled a major loss response team including an on-site chemist to perform 24-hour testing and a team of engineers, who developed a plan to move the product to another location before Monday morning. Our investigation concluded an item sold to the plant did not meet specifications and caused the explosions. EFI Global’s timely response and thorough investigation prevented liability against the client and provided an avenue of recovery for the organization and the injured truck driver.
