Who pays for explosion damage?

The financial responsibility for damage from an explosion often depends on its cause and location. If a gas leak from a utility company's infrastructure is proven, they might be liable. Property insurance policies typically cover accidental damage, but the specifics vary. Investigations are crucial to determine fault and who ultimately bears the cost of repairs and injuries.
