Wrongful death and injury from fire accidents
Were you or a loved one injured in a fire?
Contact us. We can help.
Each year more than one million people are injured or die as a result of fires. Some of the injuries they sustain include burns, smoke inhalation and even death. Some fires may be accidental but others may be the result of an individual’s negligence or carelessness.
Unfortunately, many of these injuries and deaths could have been avoided if buildings and apartments were maintained in good order, if smoke detectors were properly installed and in working order, and if products were properly labeled for fire safety. Other causes of fires include faulty wiring, upholstered furniture, gas explosions, flammable liquids and lit cigarettes.
What can I do if I was injured in a fire or if my loved one died in a fire?
If you or a loved one have been injured or died in a fire, you may have a claim for your injuries/loss. Working with our experienced team of experts, Frier Levitt will investigate and gather facts about the fire from all available sources to determine the cause of the fire and the parties responsible. If your case involves a municipal entity, such as the Housing Authority, your time to bring a claim is very limited and it is imperative that you contact an attorney immediately to protect your rights.
