ABOUT PROPANE GAS EXPLOSIONS

Gas explosions frequently result in life altering injuries and permanent disability or death. Determining the cause of an explosion and the parties responsible is a complex process. Perhaps the explosion that caused your injury was caused by a defective product in your home. On the other hand, an explosion at a refinery or petrochemical plant or other industrial accident caused your injury, there could be a variety of factors contributing to its cause. Gas explosion cases can be the result of numerous sources including:

	Violations of applicable codes, standards, or recommended safety practices
	Defective products or combinations of defective products
	Minimal or no information on the safe handling and use of propane or natural gas

More than 100 million people use natural gas, but only 30 million people use propane gas. However, you are much more likely to be involved in a fire or explosion using propane gas rather than natural gas. Furthermore, you are more than 100 times more likely to be killed or severely injured if there is a product failure using propane gas rather than natural gas.

The gathering, transmission and distribution of natural gas and propane products holds tremendous potential for injury. Propane and natural gas explosions often cause serious personal injury and death. The industry is governed by complex federal and state laws.

Propane and natural gas explosion litigation cases generally involve fires or explosions. Fires can arise as a result of defective products used to store or transmit the propane or natural gas. You may suffer an injury due to a defective appliance, such as a water heater, furnace or gas fireplace. Gas explosions may also be caused by violations of applicable codes, standards or recommended safe practices for handling propane and natural gas.

Proper investigation of gas fires and explosions also requires detailed knowledge regarding the ignition source, the physical properties of the accelerant and its path to ignition. Selecting a law firm with experience in this area and with access to nationally and internationally known experts is essential to maximizing your chances of recovery.

If you, a family member, or someone you know have sustained a serious burn injury, or even death, as a result of a gas explosion and you want to determine whether you have a claim for worker's compensation benefits and/or a personal injury claim for compensation, you will need to contact an attorney.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE LAWYER YOU ARE CONSIDERING HIRING

	All lawyers don’t have the same amount of experience and training. You might get a lawyer right out of law school who does not know his or her way around the courthouse and you may end up with a settlement or verdict which is far less than your case deserves.
	All lawyers don’t take cases to court. The value of a case is determined by how much a jury would award in a particular case. If your lawyer doesn’t take cases to court, it probably means that he or she does not know how much a jury might award in your case. The lawyer might seriously undervalue your case.
	You must ask tough questions of lawyers. How much did you settle your last propane gas explosion case for?
	Many lawyers have never handled a propane gas explosion case. So the propane company will have a lawyer who has handled dozens of these cases and you will have a lawyer with no experience. This means that your lawyer might not even know the questions to ask or he may not know what evidence is important or he may not know where to look for evidence or he will not know where to get the experts you will need to prove your case.
	Not all lawyers are skilled in the art of negotiating. If a lawyer is inexperienced with propane cases he will not know how to value the case, so he will not know where to start in the negotiation of the case. If your case is worth $1,000,000 but your lawyer does not know this (due to his inexperience), he might value it at $500,000 and therefore he might open negotiations with a demand of $1,000,000 and settle it for half that. If he had known how to value the case in the first place, he would have opened negotiations at $3,000,000 and settled somewhere in the lower seven figure range.
	Some lawyers are not personally involved in the cases they handle. They use paralegals and investigators to do most of the work on your file. In some firms, the client seldom, if ever, talks to a lawyer. You pay for a lawyer and you should be able to talk to one. After all, these non-lawyers cannot legally give you legal advice.
	The attorney’s fee charged by a seasoned propane explosion lawyer may be no more than fees charged by other lawyers. The attorney’s fee charged by a seasoned propane explosion lawyer may be no more than fees charged by other lawyers. Most lawyers charge a contingency fee in these types of case. This means you pay no fee unless a recovery is made. You can generally get an experienced lawyer for the same percentage fee as an inexperienced one. The difference to your bottom line, however, can be significant. If you have the same case with an experienced and an inexperienced lawyer, the amount you net in your pocket may be much greater because the experienced lawyer will usually get more money for the case and you will end up with more money in your pocket.
