Atmos Energy Faces Fourth Lawsuit | Dallas News
Description
Another lawsuit hits Atmos Energy as the family of Marysol Perez and her infant son Eric Jr. seeks justice after their deaths in the May 28th apartment explosion. The suit accuses Atmos of gross negligence, claiming the company ignored known gas leaks that allowed dangerous buildup before a nearby dig triggered the blast. The attorney calls it the worst case he’s seen in 30 years, with the infant’s body never recovered — while Marysol’s 10-year-old daughter miraculously survived. Atmos counters that pressure tests showed the line was fine and they hired a firm to map the dig zone, but the lawsuit highlights over a thousand missed digs last year, hinting at a troubling pattern. This is now one of four lawsuits against the company since the tragedy, as families demand accountability while Atmos insists safety remains its top priority.
