Who Is Responsible In Fire And Explosion Incidents?
In most cases, New York fires and explosions are caused by human error or corporate negligence. Many are the result of multiple acts and omissions by a combination of both parties. And in most cases, the party’s actions that caused the incident already have a team of personal injury lawyers and significant resources to help them with their defense. You deserve the same.
If you have been injured in a fire or explosion, you deserve financial compensation for your injuries. Property damage in these cases is often severe and medical costs are astronomical. There are complex laws in place that cover fire and explosion events, and unfortunately, these laws are sometimes interpreted in favor of the defendant instead of the victim. This is why it is so important to work with an experienced burn injury lawyer.
