The families of the man and woman killed in a furniture store explosion in Wayne, Michigan have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Consumers Energy. In the suit, filed in state court, it was alleged that Consumers Energy, supplier of gas to the furniture store and surrounding neighborhood, was negligent in not evacuating the area after residents complained of a gas smell. Evacuations began after the blast.

Consumers Energy received two calls on December 29^th, the first at 6:40 and the last at 7:40 a.m.  The technician was still in the area when the furniture store exploded at 9 a.m., trapping the store’s owner, and killing two of his employees. The owner was injured, but survived.

I understand that the gas leak, which was located near the store, was at a pipe coupling, and that the gas likely seeped into a nearby sewer main that serviced the furniture showroom. The piece of pipe is at a testing lab, according to Consumers Energy.

A wrongful-death lawsuit has been filed against Pacific Gas & Electric Co. by the parents of Jessica Morales, one of eight people who died in the inferno from the San Bruno gas pipeline explosion. The wrongful-death lawsuit alleges that there has been “a long list of PG&E incidents and safety lapses.” The Complaint criticizes the utility for its “sluggish” response to the September 9^th incident and alleges that the pipeline was overpressurized at the time of the explosion and that PG&E failed to maintain or properly inspect the pipe or install automatic or remote shutoff valves.

A lawsuit has been filed after a pedestrian bridge collapsed in the Atlanta Botanicals Gardens killing one of the workers helping to build the bridge. The lawsuit is filed against the attraction and several contruction companies and states that the companies failed to protect the workers.

Angel Chupin worked for a subcontractor that poured concrete foundations. The incident happened when they were working on a pedestrain bridge about 40 feet above ground when the path crumbled. Workers fell to the ground from a few dozen feet up. In total 18 workers were injured because of this and 1 was killed. The probable cause of the incident was that two support towers were placed too far away from each other. Osha fined the compaines for other safety violations as well.

These companies have a responsibility to keep the job site and their workers safe. When this does not happen people get hurt and even killed. If this happens a lawsuit should be filed.
