Gas Explosions
The process of gathering, transmitting, and distributing gas and propane products is dangerous. Propane and gas explosions often cause serious burn injury incidents and even death. The gas industry is regulated by numerous federal and state laws. Unfortunately, these complex laws can be difficult for a victim of a gas explosion to understand. The attorneys of Transportation Injury Law Group have a thorough understanding of laws and regulations governing the transmission and distribution of propane and natural gas. We help victims of gas explosions confront the companies responsible for their injuries. On behalf of our clients, we hold those responsible accountable for the damage they have caused.
Those responsible for causing propane and natural gas explosions should be held accountable and safety improvements made. There are usually a number of weak links in the chain of events which lead up to an injury or death - deferred maintenance, poorly preformed inspections or safety procedures that were not followed or enforced. Proper investigation of gas fires and explosions requires detailed knowledge regarding the ignition source, the physical properties of the accelerant and its path to ignition. Selecting a law firm with experience in this area and with access to nationally and internationally known experts is essential to maximizing your chances of recovery. Our firm has the experience you need.
As soon as we are hired by a client in a gas explosion case, we begin to conduct an independent investigation of the disaster. The insurance company for those who caused the disaster as well as "independent" federal and state agencies may also conduct an investigation into the explosion. We believe that our clients deserve to find out answers from sources they can trust-and not simply accept the findings of others who do not have their best interests at heart. Throughout the entire process we protect our clients.
After we determine the cause of the explosion, the next step is to attempt to negotiate a settlement of the case with the insurance company for the at-fault party or parties. If we cannot negotiate a settlement that is acceptable to our client, then we file suit on their behalf. Throughout the process we keep our clients informed of our progress.
Our goal is to achieve the maximum recovery we can for our clients-and to make the distribution and transmission of natural gas and propane safer for everyone.
