Hughes & Coleman files wrongful death lawsuit related to the Tennessee explosion in Hickman County.
After the recent events that occurred in Hickman County, Tennessee, the attorneys from Hughes & Coleman filed a wrongful death lawsuit regarding one of the victims who tragically died in the Tennessee explosion that happened on October 10, 2025. The law firm represents the daughter of Jeremy Moore and alleges that the company didn’t take proper precautions.
The law firm is focusing its efforts to make the company accountable for its failure to take the proper precautions, which led to the explosion that killed innocent people like Jeremy Moore—hopefully, making sure that a disaster like this doesn’t happen in the future.
“This is a disaster of epic proportions,” said the lead attorney, Lee Coleman of Hughes & Coleman. “This explosion involved ultra-hazardous materials, and the devastation it caused impacts dozens, if not hundreds, of lives. The loved ones will be in mourning for years, and our clients are still shocked by this horrible tragedy.”
Hughes & Coleman will continue to investigate the tragedy that took place last month and has also partnered with Armstrong Lee & Baker and Terry Baker, PLLC, both of which have a rich history of successfully litigating explosion cases. So, with that, these firms will analyze the defendant’s actions, the chemicals involved, and the events that led to the explosion. Although law firms are committed to identifying the resources needed to uncover what might have gone wrong, they are also committed to helping victims’ families obtain justice.
“Those killed were hardworking, devoted employees who should be enjoying their lives,” Mr. Coleman added. “Instead, their loved ones are planning funerals and a memorial in their memory.”
As stated by the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA), the explosion at Accurate Energetic Systems (AES), a facility in Bucknort, Tennessee, is very close, about 56 miles southwest of Nashville. After the explosion it prompted a massive emergency response, including local support from the State Emergency Operations Center in Nashville, which was activated at level 4 (Elevated) to support local efforts.
Local officials in the Tennessee area have stated that there is no real threat to public health or safety in the area where the explosion occurred. However, it’s still advised that the public avoid the area altogether due to ongoing emergency operations and road closures. The explosion itself is still under investigation, and the exact ignition source and sequence are under review.
