Fire Loss & Burn Injuries

While many never think it will happen to them, every 19 seconds a fire department responds to a fire somewhere in the U.S. Those who have suffered severe burn injuries know that burns are not always skin-deep. Third- and fourth-degree burns severely damage underlying tissues beneath the skin and can lead to disfigurement. Additionally, smoke inhalation during a fire can lead to serious bronchial problems. Sadly, those most vulnerable to suffering injury or death in a fire are children younger than 5 and adults over 65 years old.

Fires have many causes in both the home and workplace including defective products and from property improperly maintained. If a defective product or negligent maintenance results in a fire, the manufacturer of that product or the individual in charge of that maintenance can be held responsible for you and your loved ones’ injuries, including physical and psychological harm as well as property damages.
