Many people store excess fuel in gas canisters, or use them in the vicinity of fires, but few fully realize the risks involved in doing so. Defective or leaking gas cans have been linked to explosions, fires, and injuries from burns. We have helped many victims of these incidents. If you’ve been injured in a similar incident, contact Marsh | Rickard | Bryan today to learn what to do next.
Gas Cans
Injuries from gas can explosions or leaks can cause damage to yourself, others around you, and your property. Victims of these accidents may suffer severe burns, permanent scarring, respiratory issues, other life-altering injuries, or even death. In many cases, these injuries require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term care.
Many victims also experience emotional distress—not only from the accident itself but also from the significant financial burdens that come with recovering from an injury. Medical bills, physical therapy treatments, and having to take time off work can all affect the injured person’s financial well-being, which can severely impact their mental state. Pursuing a lawsuit can be a way to obtain compensation for these damages.
Our team of burn injury attorneys know how to handle defective gas can cases. We’ll investigate the product to determine if it was designed and manufactured properly and if adequate safety warnings were provided. The damaged container, accident reports, eyewitness testimony, and testimony from medical teams or accident reconstruction professionals can all be valuable when building a claim.
If you’ve been injured by an explosion, gas leak, or otherwise defective gas container, it’s important to seek legal counsel immediately. Our injury attorneys are ready to help you seek justice and pursue just compensation.
