San Jose Lawyer for Propane Tank Explosion Injuries

Propane Can Be Dangerous, Call 408-293-7777 If You've Been Hurt in California

The propane tank explosion that injured you or took the life of a loved one was no doubt a terrible shock. You may have been cautious and prudent in your use of propane for whatever purpose you used it, such as the following:

• Backyard barbecue in a residential area
• Household heating
• Water heating
• Cooking on a gas grill or stove in an RV or camper
• Patio or backyard heaters

As you may well know, propane is colorless and odorless. Unlike city gas supplies, which are infused with an odor designed to warn people of gas leaks, propane is difficult to detect.

Perhaps you are careful to maintain your propane tank in very good condition — but when you exchanged your tank for a filled tank, you didn't know what you were getting. Old tanks may leak because of improperly maintained or defective regulators, valves and connecting hoses – or the tank may have been overfilled.

Perhaps the propane tank that you used for cooking or heating was improperly installed or connected. Then a cigarette, static electricity, the flame from your grill or some other ignition source set off the explosion, which caused severe burn injuries.
