Fire-related injuries, explosions and electrocution are often caused by negligence — a failure to install alarm systems and sprinkler systems, poor safety and maintenance standards, or unsafe electrical wiring. The victims can suffer extensive, painful burns or even death in Phoenix. A Phoenix fire injury lawyer at Knapp & Roberts can review the circumstances of your injury or your loved one’s wrongful death to determine who (or what entity) caused the accident in Arizona and whether you have a case.
Factors of a Fire Injury
There are many factors that can effect a fire injury lawsuit, which an Phoenix fire injury attorney can help you uncover. First, you have to consider the origin of the fire by finding answers to the following:
- How did the fire or explosion occur?
- Did the property owner or manager fail to maintain the property in a safe manner?
- Was the electrocution caused by poor wiring or a failure to follow standards?
After determining the root cause, a fire injury lawyer will look into the aftermath and injuries by considering the following:
- What was the extent of the injuries?
- Did the victim require skin grafts and treatment for pain?
- Did the fire or explosion cause other damages such as broken bones, loss of sight, loss of hearing, spinal cord injuries?
- Did a loved one die because of a fire caused by negligence?
A tanker truck accident can turn a highway wreck into a gas explosion. Faulty wiring can turn a home into a fire trap. Temporary wiring at a construction site can cause an electrocution.
