Explosion At Pennsylvania Nursing Home Spawns Lawsuit

(AP) – Four people injured in an explosion at a Pennsylvania nursing home two weeks ago are suing the facility and a natural gas utility. The lawsuit filed Monday in Philadelphia claims negligence led to the Dec. 23 blast at the Bristol Health and Rehab Center. The plaintiffs are two nursing home workers, a resident and a contractor. The suit alleges the defendants knew of a gas leak but failed to evacuate the property or fix the problem. The explosion killed a resident and a worker and injured 20 other people. Officials haven’t determined the cause.
