Wrongful Death Lawsuit Filed Over Massachusetts Propane Explosion
A wrongful death lawsuit has been filed against an energy company and a Massachusetts plumbing company as the result of a propane gas explosion that killed an electrician at a construction site.Â
The complaint was filed by the family of William Nichols, who died on July 30 in a propane explosion at a condo under construction in Norfolk, Massachusetts. The lawsuit accuses Energy USA and Smolinsky Brothers Plumbing and Heating of liability for Nichols’ death.
According to the lawsuit, the two companies failed to monitor gases in a propane tank that has been linked to the blast. The lawsuit claims that the tank lay at the construction site, filled with volatile gas, for three months unmonitored.
