Understanding Natural Gas Accidents in Louisiana
Natural gas injuries may be caused by poor infrastructure or negligence. This can include outdated piping and other issues. Natural gas explosions can cause serious injuries, property damage, and even result in death. They can also result in carbon monoxide poisoning.
Many of these injuries may require lifelong care and ongoing medical expenses. These accidents may impact workers onsite, residential homes, and local businesses.
Who is Responsible Following a Gas Explosion?
Determining who is liable for injuries following a natural gas incident can be complicated. In many cases, natural gas companies and their insurance companies are responsible. However, if you are a worker and were injured during your job, you may have to file a claim for workers’ compensation. If the accident was caused by faulty equipment, a third party, such as the manufacturer, may also be partially responsible. We can help you determine liability in natural gas cases.
