Gas Explosion Attorneys
Miller Weisbrod Olesky's Gas Explosion Attorneys have successfully pursued multiple lawsuits against natural gas companies arising from explosions due to aging, broken pipes, and inadequate policies relating to the replacement of natural gas pipe components. Clay Miller, partner at Miller Weisbrod Olesky, recently obtained a $12,500,000 Settlement after a gas explosion resulted in serious burn injuries to our clients.
**A contingent (%) fee charged on the successful recovery resulted in a fee of $2,500,000.00 and $690,546.92 in litigation expenses which were reimbursed by the client out of the gross settlement amount.
A gas explosion is an explosion resulting from a gas leak in the presence of an ignition source. The principal explosive gases are natural gas, methane, propane and butane, because they are widely used for heating purposes. Industrial gas explosions can be prevented with the use of intrinsic safety barriers to prevent ignition.
Working in the natural gas industry is dangerous. The incidence of accidental injury and death is high. Unfortunately, companies often ignore safety problems, and serious accidents can occur.
Many times it's not only oil and gas workers affected by gas explosions, but rather the citizens living around the pipelines that live in danger. At Miller Weisbrod Olesky, Attorneys At Law, we believe in holding natural gas companies responsible for their negligence.
