$18.5M Settlement Reached Over Fatal Tank Explosion

A worker was severely injured in a gas station explosion that also killed the station co-owner.

After years of intensive investigation, Bob Mongeluzzi, Larry Bendesky, Adam Pantano, and Jordan Howell secured a multimillion-dollar settlement for a worker who was severely injured in a gas station explosion that also killed of one of the station’s co-owners.

The agreement resolves claims that two companies involved in the filling and construction of the fuel storage tank that combusted ignored industry standards and their own safety protocols. The resolution comes after about four years of litigation and comes less than a month before the cases were slated to go to trial in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas.
