00:00In a store in Taytay, Rizal, an LPG tank suddenly exploded.
00:06In the CCTV, it can be seen that two men are fixing something in the store.
00:12Later on, there was a sudden smoke and there was a strong explosion.
00:17The store quickly went wild, so the people inside quickly came out.
00:22The neighbors screamed and there was immediately a responding fireman
00:27The 54-year-old woman who owns this store's face and other parts of her body was hit.
00:35The same happened to the 21-year-old man and his wife.
00:39What does the law say about such incidents?
00:43Ask me, ask Attorney Gabby.
00:46Attorney, who will be responsible for such an accident, especially if there is an injury?
00:57Well, as a general rule, the items do not explode by themselves.
01:02It is likely that someone made a mistake.
01:04Either the person using it, the person fixing it, or the manufacturers of these items.
01:10In other words, there might be a factory defect.
01:13But it is also possible that the items were not maintained properly,
01:18which is why there was a disgrace.
01:20So, whoever is at fault, they should be held accountable.
01:25And if, for example, the failure of the employees to maintain the LPG tanks in proper order
01:33or the wrong installation or use of it,
01:36the employer or the owner of the establishment will also be held accountable
01:40because there is such a rule in our law that the employer is liable for the negligence of his employees
01:47unless he shows that he exercised due diligence in choosing and supervising them.
01:54But in real life, it is also very difficult to answer these questions
01:58because it is necessary to show what the real cause of the explosion is.
02:02It needs to be shown by experts or the Bureau of Fire Protection
02:07to see the cause of the explosion,
02:09whether it is due to negligence of the owner or the manufacturer
02:14or negligence in handling the product in the meantime.
02:18And of course, damages, medicines, hospitals,
02:22items that were damaged, clothes that were burned, houses that were burned,
02:26and other people may also lose their salaries because they were hospitalized
02:31as a result of their injuries.
02:35Attorney, what if the LPG of a house explodes and there are damages?
02:40Is it possible that he will also be held accountable even if he is the victim of an accident?
02:45Well, if one thing is a real accident, first of all, there is no negligence.
02:50The incident is not expected and everything was done to be careful and not to have a problem.
02:56The owner of the house has no liability.
03:00No one is liable in case of an accident or what they call a fortuitous event.
03:06But if there is a crime along the way and we cannot say that this is a real accident,
03:12if there was negligence, the root of the incident should be answered.
03:17The consequences of negligence should be answered,
03:21whether or not he also incurred damage and injury.
03:24So this actually reminds me of an old case,
03:27of a gasoline station where the fire started and the neighbors were affected.
03:33This case was successful.
03:35The court found that there was a lack of gasoline in this gas station
03:39and it was judged that the lost belongings of the burned neighbors should be paid.
03:45According to that basic rule, the consequences of negligence or negligence should be answered.
03:52And actually, there was also a case that reached the Supreme Court involving a fast food stall.
03:59The Bureau of Fire Protection proved that the fire started because of the leak of an LPG
04:06of a fast food stall that caught fire.
04:09And because of this, the fire spread and the nearby food stalls were burned.
04:14The neighbors of the stall were also affected by the damage that resulted from the fire.
04:21And because there was negligence of the employees, they were not able to control the spread of the fire.
04:29We will clarify the rules of the law.
04:32You know, for the peace of mind, don't think twice.
04:38Ask me, ask Attorney Gag.
