One of the most tragic things that can happen in a person’s adult life is losing their home. Even more traumatic is losing your home in a fire or explosion. These are caused by gas, gasoline, defective smoke detectors, furnaces, home appliances, and more. Fires or explosions caused by this can cause burn injuries, concussions from the blow, bruises, cuts, scrapes, and more. Any of these can be the source for a fire or explosion in your own home, and depending on your case, we will find the right defendants to sue and get justice for you.

Who is liable?

Premises liability laws essentially say that when a person is injured on someone else’s property, that person is entitled to take legal action against the property owner. The property owner has a duty to keep their residents safe by any reasonable measure. When this fails, they may be held liable for the injuries that have occurred on their property.

If this accident was caused by outdated, improperly maintained household equipment, then liability should fall on the property owner. We often hear of gas explosions, where a gas stove was left on too long and a fire ensued. In this case, you can possibly sue the gas provider. If the accident was an issue with home electrical paths causing the fire or explosion, then you may want to sue the utilities company or electricians that have recently worked on your home. If it is purely a matter of insufficient inspection, you can sue the entity that conducted these inspections. You have endured an enormous loss. We will do the work for you to ensure that you have the best result so that you can get back on your feet again.
