Spagnoletti & Co. Law Firm recently filed suit on behalf of two individuals who were injured during a February 2017 explosion at a natural gas processing plant located near Venice, Louisiana. At the time of the explosion, the two Plaintiffs were welders and were positioned on scaffolding to perform work on the pipeline.
