A gas explosion can result in devastating injuries, property damage, and difficult questions about what caused the incident. Gas explosions may involve problems with gas lines, equipment, installation, maintenance, leaks, or other failures. Kennedy, Robbins, Yarbro & Henson, LC represents individuals and families affected by serious gas-explosion injuries and works to determine what happened, who may be responsible, and what legal options may be available.

Thorough Investigation of Gas Explosions

Determining the cause of a gas explosion often requires a detailed examination of the property, gas system, equipment, maintenance history, and actions of the individuals and companies involved. Our attorneys may investigate gas lines and connections, appliances and equipment, installation and inspection records, service and repair records, photographs and video, emergency-response records, witness statements, and other available evidence. Expert examination and testing may also be necessary to help identify the cause of the explosion.

Serious Injuries and Long-Term Consequences

Gas explosions can cause severe burns, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, respiratory injuries, fractures, internal injuries, permanent disabilities, and other life-changing harm. Serious burns and catastrophic injuries may require emergency treatment, surgeries, rehabilitation, and long-term medical care. Injured individuals and their families may also face significant medical expenses, lost income, and other financial and personal consequences.

Determining Responsibility and Protecting Your Rights

Depending on the circumstances, potentially responsible parties may include a gas utility or service provider, property owner, contractor or installation company, maintenance or repair company, equipment or appliance manufacturer, or others whose conduct contributed to the explosion. Important evidence may be damaged, removed, or altered during emergency response, cleanup, repairs, or other activities, making a timely investigation important.
