The family of a welder has filed a lawsuit against Vapor Point, LLC in Houston after he was injured in a tank explosion on May 19, 2023, according to Houston attorney Randy Sorrels of Sorrels Law.
Joel Espitia and his wife, Autumn Flowers, are seeking monetary relief of $1 million from the supplying company for “the recklessness, negligence, and carelessness of the company,” Sorrels stated. The money would cover the medical bills and injuries Espitia suffered in the incident, their attorney said.According to the lawsuit, Espitia was working as a welder at a commercial and industrial welding shop.
After a short time, the lawsuit stated that the tank exploded, blasting Joel in the air, knocking him unconscious and causing severe injuries. His face, head, arms and legs were reportedly severely injured.“The explosion of this tank was violent and devasting. But, importantly, it was preventable. Vapor Point was to deliver a tank for welding that did not contain any flammable or explosive materials or residue. Instead, Vapor Point delivered a ticking time bomb,” Sorrels said.
