Representing Family After Fatal Gas Explosion in Albuquerque

Arnold & Itkin is honored to represent the family of a man who tragically lost his life in a devastating home explosion in Albuquerque, New Mexico. After a gas services company received reports of a gas leak and arrived at the scene, they failed to follow industry safety standards that could have prevented this tragedy.

The gas company's failure to turn off gas service to the area allowed leaking gas to find an ignition source and combust, causing a catastrophic explosion. Our client was severely burned in the blast and tragically succumbed to his injuries the following day due to extensive burns and complications from soot inhalation. His family is now left to grieve an unimaginable loss that should never have happened.

Gas companies have a fundamental responsibility to respond to leak reports with urgency and follow established safety protocols. Turning off gas service to prevent exactly this type of tragedy is not optional—it's a basic industry standard that exists to protect lives. When a company receives a gas leak report and fails to take this critical safety step, the consequences can be deadly.

This family has lost a loved one because a gas services company failed to do its job. No family should have to endure this kind of pain and loss due to corporate negligence. Our wrongful death lawyers at Arnold & Itkin are committed to seeking justice for this family and working tirelessly to obtain answers and accountability for their profound loss. We will fight to ensure those responsible are held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.
