Some benefits of partnering with our injury lawyers include:
We Have Experience Managing Cases Like Yours

We Offer Help on a Contingency-Fee Basis
Personal injury lawyers have a reputation for being expensive. Yet, this is a widespread misconception, as many law firms (including our own) work on a contingency-fee basis.

What You Can Expect from Your Propane Tank Lawyer in Massachusetts
When you entrust your case to GED Lawyers, LLP, you can trust that we’ll:
Determine Liability
To recover damages, we must learn liability for your losses. Yet, this involves learning how your accident happened. Using information from witnesses and evidence from the accident scene, we can accomplish this. Liability may rest with the propane tank’s manufacturer, installer, or another party.
Pursue Compensation for Your Various Losses
We want to secure financial recovery for each of your losses, including those you haven’t incurred yet. We can seek both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages in your case account for your financial losses, such as:
- Medical bills, including anticipated care costs
- Property damage costs
- Lost income and other job-related revenue
- Loss of future earning capacity
Non-economic damages account for your intangible losses, like pain and suffering. Examples include:
- Disfigurement
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Mental anguish
Sometimes, propane tank explosions can become fatal. In one recent year, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reported that gas-related explosions claimed 40 lives. If you lost a loved one, you deserve financial recovery for the decedent’s medical bills, lost income, and funeral expenses.
File Your Claim and/or Lawsuit
There’s a lot of bureaucracy that goes into filing an insurance claim. Our team intends to alleviate you of those burdens, so you can focus on healing. Filing your claim requires us to submit all necessary paperwork, understand your damages’ cost, and negotiate with the insurer. It also requires us to protect you from any strategies that attempt to derail your case.
We can also manage litigation if that becomes a necessity in your case. While many propane accident cases seldom require a lawsuit, we can take care of these obligations on your behalf.

What Causes Propane Tank Explosions?
Human error is among the leading causes of propane tank explosions. Some causes of these incidents include:
Improper Installation
You may have suffered a propane tank explosion after someone incorrectly installed a component. If so, you could hold them liable for your losses. An installer could be someone who worked at a hardware store or even a neighbor who hosted a barbeque at their home.
Poor Maintenance
Propane tanks must undergo periodic maintenance and inspections to ensure that they operate properly. Without maintenance and inspections, users risk serious injuries.
Leaks
Leaks cause many propane tank explosions. When exposed to open flames, cigarettes, or other heat sources, propane leaks can cause ignite and cause grievous harm.
To learn how your accident happened, our team will investigate your case. This may require consulting third-party witnesses, visiting the accident scene, and checking if your propane tank was recalled prior to its explosion.
