‘Putting lives at risk’: Mass. family sues Eversource for $450M after man killed in house explosion
A Massachusetts family is seeking $450 million in damages in a lawsuit filed against Eversource on Tuesday, years after a beloved husband and father was killed in a house explosion caused by an underground gas leak. A lawsuit filed in Middlesex County Superior Court by Sweeney Merrigan Law alleges that the Westwood-based utility company discovered the gas leak in 2018, years before Greg Sharrigan died in 2021 but did nothing to address it, instead “prioritizing more lucrative maintenance projects.” “As shocking as this case already was, it’s even more staggering that Eversource’s alleged safety system is riddled with cost-saving measures. Eversource fails to properly track and repair leaking natural gas pipes because it prioritizes cost over danger,” said J. Tucker Merrigan, co-managing partner at Sweeney Merrigan. “It represents a classic corporate failure of profits over people. It actually detected the underground gas leak years before it killed Greg Sharrigan, but then didn’t do anything about it.” Sharrigan lost his life when a leaking natural gas line ignited in a crawlspace of his home at 27 Park Street in Maynard in September 2021, sparking a fire that led to the deadly blast, investigators said.

And after dealing with Debby last weekend, we are getting ready to deal with Ernesto this weekend.
