San Bruno Fire Damage and Burn Injury Victims Are Entitled to Compensation From PG&E

On September 9, 2010 a gas line, owned and maintained by PG&E ruptured. A horrific explosion ensued sending a residential neighborhood in San Bruno, California into flames. Residents of the San Bruno community had reported smelling natural gas in the days leading up to the explosion. It appears that the injuries and deaths which resulted were preventable.

The damage caused by the blast has been catastrophic. Early reports confirmed at least 6 people killed. Dozens more have suffered serious burn injuries. At least 60 people are known to have suffered burns, smoke inhalation and other injuries, some in critical condition with third-degree burns, according to hospital spokespersons. More than 12 hours after the explosion, the fire was still only 75 percent contained. Officials estimate 40 or more homes had been destroyed. As many as 100 more homes were damaged, but not destroyed.
