• Gas Line Explosion Causes Severe Burns To Bellsouth Worker

Believing this was not the case, attorney Robert M. Roselli designed a legal strategy which involved hiring a team of top fire and safety experts to analyze the explosion and perform laboratory re-enactments which proved our client was not at fault.
