Gas explosions occur more often than many people realize, from the use of propane, natural gas, gasoline, and other flammable and explosive gases in the workplace, in business places, in the home, and even in your car.  Whether a gas explosion occurs where it is a known hazard, like a natural gas explosion during the construction of a gas-fired power plant, or happens somewhere far less expected, like an explosion caused by rusting equipment in the basement of an apartment house, the toll in human suffering and loss can be high.

A gas explosion attorney is a personal injury attorney who works with those who have suffered devastating injuries, or the tragic injury or loss of loved ones, as the result of a gas explosion, an attorney who helps gas explosion victims to obtain answers, accountability, and compensation necessary to attempt to rebuild their lives.

CAUSES

Gas explosions in the workplace or home can frequently be traced to some error, either human or mechanical, that could have been prevented through the exercise of reasonable care for the safety of others.  The causes of gas explosions may be gas leaks in valves, connectors, hoses, tanks, pipelines, or other equipment; misuse of equipment; or failure to observe safety precautions.  These often-fatal situations generally stem from a few common types of error:

• Defective Equipment, manufactured without appropriate care or carelessly handled (Like equipment damaged in shipping or distribution to those who will use it to build or operate mechanisms for the use or storage of flammable or explosive gases).
  
  
• Damage to Equipment, caused by someone’s carelessness (Such as damage to a pipeline caused by digging for the installation of a telephone line, or damage to equipment for a new gas power plant caused by workers for the contractor building the plant).
  
  
• Improper Use of Equipment, where someone disregarded appropriate protocols (For example, where a company skirts important safe use protocols to save time and money in operations).
  
  
• Poor Maintenance of Equipment, where someone had a duty to maintain it more carefully (Such as rusting gas lines ignored too long that end up leaking).
  
  
• Failure to Warn, where there was a lack of warnings to alert unsuspecting people of the presence or danger of explosive gas (Like a failure to post warning signs to prevent people from smoking or using open flame where gas is present).
