The four lawyers filed lawsuits in Middletown Superior Court, alleging plant owner Kleen Energy Systems and some contractors failed to take precautions to prevent the February blast. The explosion killed six workers and injured 50 others.
The Middletown plant was under construction when it exploded, after something ignited natural gas and air that had accumulated while high-pressure gas was forced through pipes to clean them.
The attorneys said the lawsuits come after three visits to the plant and separate examinations of some equipment.
Kleen Energy said it has not seen the lawsuits and would not comment. A spokesman for O&G Industries also declined comment.
A message left for another company, Bluewater Energy Solutions, was not immediately returned.
