The recent explosion at a nursing home in Bristol left 4 survivors with physical and emotional scars
, and they're fighting for justice by taking PECO & Saber Healthcare to court
. It's heartbreaking to think about the wheelchair of Barbara Sall being destroyed in the fire
, and the fact that James Broderick, Stacy Ballard, & Davidetta Blay have to deal with injuries that'll affect them for the rest of their lives is just devastating
.
What really gets me is how PECO was on site investigating a gas leak when the explosion happened
, but they still didn't take action in time
. If only they had addressed those complaints from residents about a gas smell in the days leading up to the blast
, maybe we wouldn't have this tragedy today.
The lawsuit also brings up some concerning issues with Saber Healthcare's safety measures
. A state inspection report had already identified problems like faulty stairways, fire extinguishers, & smoke barrier partitions
... it just goes to show that they weren't prioritizing the well-being of their residents as much as they should've been
.
The survivors' lawyer is right in saying that this tragedy was "foreseeable and preventable"
, and it's our hope that justice is served for these 4 brave individuals who're fighting to make PECO & Saber Healthcare accountable for their actions
