Fire Accident

A fire accident can occur at any time, at any place, and can be caused by any number of things; including unattended fireplaces, faulty electrical connections, cigarettes, candles, heaters, even defective appliances and other products. Whatever started the fire accident you were in, once you suffered burn or other fire-related injury caused by a person’s negligence or carelessness, you are entitled to an appropriate compensation. At Goodman Law Group, we have lawyers who are experienced in all aspects of fire-related personal injury litigation. We can help you get the appropriate compensations that you need to be able to move on with your life after the accident.

What You Can Do After the Fire Accident

The U.S. Fire Administration lists several steps you can do to protect yourself immediately after the fire, including:

  • If you need temporary housing, food or medicine, call your local disaster relief service, such as the Red Cross.
  • If you have insurance, call your insurance company to get information on how to protect your home and determine what has been lost in the fire.
  • If you don’t have insurance, call private organizations for help, such as the Salvation Army.
  • Talk to fire department officials to find out if your home is safe before going back inside. They should ensure that utilities are either safe to use or have been disconnected before leaving the site. Do not try to reconnect the utilities yourself.
  • Take stock of the damage. Make a list of the property that has been damaged or lost in the fire accident. Don’t throw anything away until after your inventory is complete.
  • Try to find important documents- medical records, insurance information, deeds, car titles, driver’s license, social security cards, etc.
  • Call the police whenever you leave the house to let them know that it will be unoccupied and unguarded.
  • Start saving receipts immediately- include everything related to the fire accident, such as receipts for hotel rooms, replacement clothes, transportation, etc. It is important to keep these to show to your insurance company when you make your claim.

In addition to this, call (702) 383-5088 for free legal consultation with the Goodman Law Group. We will help you fight for the benefits you deserve.

What the Fire Accident Attorney Can Do

Getting an experienced injury attorney as soon as possible after the incident is critical to the collection of evidence as to the actual cause of the fire, as well as in identifying the responsible parties. Negligent behavior has been proven on the part of certain building owners, landlords, managers, building designers/architects, even firemen in the past. The same may be said for manufacturers and distributors of defective products such as gas tanks which explode and fire alarms that do not detect fires. At Goodman Law Group, we have a deep understanding of the complexities of fire investigations. We can help you get identify those who are directly accountable for your injury and loss so you can be appropriately compensated for.
