A Bay Area law firm, Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy, LLP, initiated legal proceedings against Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), Alameda County, and additional named entities, representing the Duneas family whose Ashland residence was destroyed in a December 2025 gas explosion.
When the suburban home near Hayward exploded in a fiery blast after a PG&E gas leak in December, resident Jesus Duenas “fell into the basement of the house and saw a red-hot pipe explode,” according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday claiming PG&E falsely claimed to federal investigators that before the explosion it tried to warn neighborhood residents of the leak.
