Why You Need a Pipeline Accident Attorney

Pipeline accidents often result from negligence, poor maintenance, faulty equipment, or inadequate safety measures. These incidents can lead to:



• Severe burns and injuries from explosions or fires
• Toxic exposure to hazardous chemicals
• Property damage from leaks or ruptures
• Wrongful death in catastrophic cases

Insurance companies and corporations will try to minimize payouts, but with Flahavan Law on your side, you’ll have aggressive legal representation to ensure your rights are protected.

Common Causes of Pipeline Accidents

Pipeline accidents occur for various reasons, including:

1. Negligent Maintenance – Failure to inspect or repair aging pipelines can lead to ruptures.
2. Construction Errors – Poor welding, faulty installation, or improper safety protocols.
3. Corrosion & Material Defects – Weak or degraded pipes can burst without warning.
4. Third-Party Damage – Excavation work or unauthorized digging can puncture pipelines.
5. Operator Errors – Mistakes in pressure control or emergency response.

Our Sonoma pipeline accident lawyers investigate these incidents thoroughly to determine liability and build a strong case for maximum compensation.

Multiple parties may share responsibility, including:

• Pipeline operators & companies
• Contractors & construction crews
• Equipment manufacturers
• Government agencies (if regulatory failures contributed)
• Property owners (if negligence led to damage)

We identify all liable parties to ensure you receive full and fair compensation.
