Root Causes of Natural Gas Explosions

Most gas explosions happen because of poor maintenance or defective products. Common causes include:

• Misuse of gas appliances such as furnaces and stoves
• Faulty installation that leads to gas line leaks
• Old, deteriorating gas pipelines
• Defective devices like gas grills and fire features
• Failure to follow safety rules for natural gas and propane

Understanding Natural Gas

Natural gas is a flammable, invisible fossil fuel used mainly for energy. It forms when prehistoric organisms decompose under layers of sediment and earth, slowly turning into gas, coal, and oil over millions of years.

Extraction methods like hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, raise serious environmental questions. Even though natural gas supplies energy to countless homes, the environmental impact of fracking remains a major concern across Ohio. If an accident leaves you injured, a trusted Warren criminal lawyer can explain how these factors may affect your claim.

Risks of Natural Gas in Buildings

Depending on natural gas raises the level of danger inside your home. The fallout from a natural gas incident can range from injuries and lost property all the way to fatalities.

Unseen Dangers

• Residential use of natural gas keeps climbing, which leads to more accidents.
• An estimated 17 deadly natural gas explosions happen every year.
• A single spark from an undetected leak can level an entire building.
• Nearly 14 million Americans depend on natural gas for heating and cooking, creating constant risk.

Property and Financial Losses

• Natural gas explosions cause an average of $133 million in property losses each year.
• Fire departments handle more than 3,200 gas-related emergencies annually, with 2,000 involving natural gas. A skilled Warren OVI attorney can help you account for these losses when you file.
