A restaurant worker who was injured in a blast at a hotel in Fort Worth, Texas, is suing the hotel, claiming that there was a gas smell 90 minutes before the explosion. The incident occurred in 2017 at the hotel’s sports bar, resulting in severe injuries to the worker.
The lawsuit alleges that the hotel was aware of the gas smell but failed to evacuate the premises or take any necessary safety precautions. The worker claims to have suffered significant injuries, including traumatic brain injury, because of the blast.
The explosion caused extensive damage to the hotel and it was forced to close for repairs. The lawsuit seeks damages for the worker’s medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
The hotel management has not yet commented on the lawsuit. The blast incident was investigated by the fire department and it was determined that a gas leak caused the explosion.
The worker’s attorney stated that the hotel’s negligence led to the severe injuries and the lawsuit aims to hold them accountable for the negligence. The worker is seeking compensation for the physical and emotional trauma caused by the blast.
