Texas worker sues Kinder Morgan over pipeline explosion injuries, alleging negligence and safety failures.

Orlando Cantu, a Texas worker severely injured in a Kinder Morgan pipeline explosion on April 22, 2026, has filed a lawsuit against Kinder Morgan and its subsidiaries. The suit alleges the company failed to establish safety protocols, warn of hazards, and maintain the pipeline properly, leading to the explosion and Cantu's injuries. The lawsuit claims negligence and gross negligence, seeking damages for medical costs, lost wages, and emotional distress. A court order now prevents Kinder Morgan from altering the explosion site to preserve evidence for inspection.
