MURRIETA EXPLOSION CASE SETTLEMENT - $6.1MILLION

After five years of intense litigation, the partners at Yuhl Carr, LLP are pleased to have secured this substantial settlement for our client, a homeowner who suffered blast injuries when her home was destroyed in a gas explosion. The settlement will help ensure she receives the ongoing care and support needed for her recovery.

Our client, a 27-year-old mother of two, endured a harrowing experience when her home exploded moments after she re-entered on the advice of local fire officials. The explosion occurred about an hour after a solar panel company negligently punctured a gas line.  Our client survived miraculously and despite initial appearances of minor physical injuries, her treating physicians determined she suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and severe psychological trauma, including PTSD, anxiety, and depression. These injuries significantly impacted her cognitive functioning, relationships, and ability to care for her young children.

This case highlights the importance of proper safety protocols in home improvement projects, thorough assessment of potential injuries in explosive incidents, and recognition of the long-term impacts of TBI and psychological trauma.
