Gas Fire Lawsuits
in Denver and throughout Colorado and Wyoming
Since gas is such a highly flammable product, the companies that store and transport gas, as well as the manufacturers of products that use gas, are held to a high standard. All too often, a simple equipment malfunction or substandard maintenance procedure can create a volatile environment in which a gasoline fire can erupt, endangering and seriously injuring innocent bystanders. If a gas explosion occurs because of the negligence of company employees, or a defective product, the damages can be very large.

Gasoline, or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), is a common source of vehicle and other fires. Although less common than propane and natural gas accidents, gasoline fires can cause devastating burns and traumatic injuries.
Gasoline fires and explosions are frequently associated with:
- Poorly maintained or defective gas pumps
- Improperly stored or inappropriate storage
- Vehicle accidents
- Gasoline spills
Gasoline can ignite either as a liquid or as a vapor, and can be ignited by spark or by open flame.
Common gasoline injuries include:
- Burns
- Traumatic injuries
- Wrongful death
