Thoughts on pipeline explosions

What a tragic incident that never should have happened. Our firm has handled many pipeline explosions over the years involving pressurized pipelines. We have found that these explosions are almost always the result of wrongdoing by a company or a defect in the product itself.

Pressurized pipes are extremely dangerous, and companies must take all precautions to ensure the pipe is properly prepared before work starts. Furthermore, manufacturers of these pipes must ensure that property safety valves and other features are in place to prevent accidents from happening.

When a manufacturer or company fails to protect innocent workers, they must be held accountable and required to compensate the victims of their wrongdoing.
