Legal Challenges in Propane Explosion Cases

In the race for profits, propane companies may take shortcuts or fail to adhere to safety regulations in order to save money. According to OSHA, the majority of propane explosions occur during actions to fill or refill tanks or when repairs are being made to propane equipment—either in homes or at commercial locations. Negligence resulting in fatalities or catastrophic injuries can result from a propane company’s failure to properly train employees in safe handling and maintenance of propane equipment, lapses in proper maintenance, defective equipment, or other sources. Injuries and deaths from propane explosions are frequently a type of premises liability issue. Make sure your rights are protected if you have been seriously injured or lost a loved one by having a highly experienced propane explosions attorney working for you.

Causes of Propane Explosions

Propane usage in the U.S. is increasing so it is more important than ever that this industry maintain the highest safety standards possible for employees and consumers alike. When employees enter high-risk jobs working for oil refineries and gas companies, they have an expectation that their employers will do everything in their power to maintain safe working conditions. Unfortunately, for many oil and gas industry workers, this is not the case. The most common causes of propane explosions are OSHA safety violations, negligence, and carelessness such as:

Gas leaks resulting from faulty equipment and improper maintenance
Improper installation or poorly maintained propane tanks
Defective propane tanks, hoses, connectors, or appliances
Nearby flames or sparks igniting leaking tanks
Inadequate ventilation causing a buildup of propane fumes
Human error resulting in accidents

How We Get Results in Propane Explosion Cases

Our first step is always to understand what has happened to the client and document as much of the initial information and evidence as possible. This is followed by extensive investigation with the help of specialists knowledgeable in the proper procedures and equipment related to propane refining, refueling, transportation, installation, etc. The evidence and information gathered from the investigation make it possible to identify all liable parties. A propane explosion case could involve propane suppliers, tank and other equipment manufacturers, maintenance companies, property owners, and others. From here, we engage additional experts to help us effectively show where the fault lies and the full damages that negligence caused when filing an insurance claim. If negotiations for a just settlement fail, we are skilled litigators and ready to file a lawsuit and go to trial if necessary to get rightful compensation.
