Experienced Texas Gas Explosion Lawyers Fighting for Victims

Gas explosions are among the most devastating accidents that can occur, causing catastrophic injuries, deaths, and massive property damage in seconds. Texas, with its extensive natural gas infrastructure including thousands of miles of pipelines, distribution systems, and processing facilities, unfortunately sees numerous gas explosion incidents each year. From residential home explosions to industrial facility disasters, these accidents often result from utility company negligence, contractor errors, defective equipment, or safety regulation violations.

When gas explosions occur, the consequences are often life-changing. Victims may suffer severe burn injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and other catastrophic harm requiring extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation. Families may lose their homes and all their possessions, while businesses may be destroyed completely. The emotional trauma of surviving a gas explosion, or losing loved ones in such an accident, can be overwhelming and long-lasting.

Frequently Asked Questions About Texas Gas Explosions

Who can be held liable for a gas explosion?

Multiple parties may be liable including the gas utility company, excavation contractors who damaged gas lines, equipment manufacturers, property owners, and others whose negligence contributed to the explosion.

What if the gas explosion was caused by an old pipeline?

Utility companies have a duty to maintain and replace aging infrastructure. Failure to upgrade old pipelines that pose safety risks can be evidence of negligence, especially if the company knew about problems.

Can I recover compensation if my home was destroyed but no one was injured?

Yes, you can recover for property damage, temporary living expenses, lost personal property, and other economic losses even without personal injuries. The emotional distress of losing your home may also be compensable.

What if the explosion was caused by a contractor hitting a gas line?

Both the contractor and the gas utility company may be liable. The contractor may be liable for improper excavation, and the utility may be liable for inadequate line marking or maintenance.

How long do I have to file a lawsuit for a gas explosion?

Generally two years from the date of the explosion under Texas law, but it’s crucial to contact an attorney immediately to preserve evidence and protect your rights.

What if the gas company claims the explosion was caused by someone else?

Gas companies often try to shift blame to contractors, property owners, or equipment manufacturers. An experienced attorney can investigate all potential causes and hold all responsible parties accountable.

Will insurance cover gas explosion damages?

Coverage depends on your specific insurance policies and the cause of the explosion. Some policies exclude certain types of explosions, which is why pursuing claims against responsible parties is often necessary.
