Burn Victim Receives $2.3M Million in Landmark Settlements Over Defective Propane Cylinder that Engulfed Man in Flames.
We are thrilled to announce the successful resolution of a significant personal injury case involving a burn victim who suffered severe injuries when he disconnected a propane cylinder from an outdoor grill. Our client, whose life was forever changed due to this devastating incident, experienced life-threatening burns as a result of a fire caused by a defective valve that was equipped on the malfunctioning propane cylinder. Not only was the valve defective, but the propane refiller also failed to catch the problem before placing the cylinder back into public circulation.
This incident not only left our client with physical and emotional scars but also shed light on the need for improved safety standards within the industry. The combined settlements from all the parties involved, the propane refill operator, and other relevant entities, exceeded $2 million. This substantial sum will go a long way in providing our client with the necessary support for their ongoing medical treatment, rehabilitation, and future well-being.
This successful resolution underscores the importance of product safety, particularly in industries where a lapse in quality control can have devastating consequences.
