In these related personal injury cases, which arose when a mobile home exploded as a result of accumulated natural gas, Shan Eric Anderson,1 Jason Hunter, and David Cadieux hereinafter, “the plaintiffs” sued the Atlanta Gas Light Company “AGLC” and Hunter’s landlord, Charles Tinker d/b/a Tinker Mobile Home Park “Tinker” collectively, “the defendants”. In both of the above-styled cases, the plaintiffs appeal from the trial court’s grant of the defendants’ motions to exclude the testimony of their expert witness. In addition, in Case No. A13A1620, the plaintiffs appeal the court’s grant of summary judgment to AGLC on their complaints. For the reasons explained below, we affirm.

The record shows the following undisputed, relevant facts. Tinker is the owner and operator of a mobile home park in Trenton. At the time of the incident at issue, three of the homes, including the home leased by plaintiffs Jason Hunter and David Cadieux, were served by natural gas lines that were installed by AGLC. A master meter regulated the flow of gas through the lines. The master meter was located on Tinker’s property and was not locked or monitored to prevent unauthorized individuals from turning the natural gas on or off.
