Food Truck Explosion Leaves 5 Injured – Explosion Injury Attorneys

As food trucks become increasingly popular, we have seen an increase in food truck incidents. Considering that food trucks are basically mobile kitchens, fires – and, unfortunately, explosions – are likely. These fires and explosions are usually associated with the deep fryers, grills, and/or flat tops that are used in the kitchens in these food trucks. However, they can also be caused due to propane leaks, gas leaks, or even engine issues – as food trucks are vehicles after all.

Of course, these fire and explosion incidents on food trucks can result in devastating injuries. These injuries can include burn injuries, ranging in degree, impaling injuries, blast injuries (including injuries to fingers, injuries to hands, broken bones, dislocations, amputations, etc.), smoke inhalation injuries, and more. These incidents could result in significant injuries that could lead to permanent disability. These incidents could also be fatal.

No matter the specific injuries that you or a loved one suffered, it is important that you seek legal assistance as soon as possible.

• Food truck kitchen appliances in disrepair (i.e., gas leaks in the fryers/grills, faulty gas tanks, etc.)
• No fire extinguishers on board the food truck
• Negligent hiring of staff (i.e., staff have no kitchen experience, no proper training, etc.)
• Food truck vehicle in disrepair (negligence of the owner of the vehicle)
• Defective vehicles
• Defective appliances in the food truck

Yes – you could have the right to file a lawsuit. Your right to sue will be based on the concept of negligence. No matter the specific cause of the incident, the incident could be traced back to the negligence or reckless actions of a specific party or entity. This could be the manufacturer of the food truck, manufacturer of the appliances in the food truck, the owner of the food truck, and the employer (if the employer is different than the owner of the food truck). In some cases, other parties/entities can be liable; for example, drivers on the road could be liable if they crash into a food truck and cause a fire.

All claims are subject to a statute of limitations, which determines the total length of time that claimants have to pursue their claims. In California, personal injury claims and wrongful death claims, alike, are subject to a two-year statute of limitations, which means that claimants will only have two years to pursue their claims. If claimants do not file their claims on time, then they run the risk of losing their right to sue entirely. Because of that, it is essential that claimants take action as soon as possible.
