Wrongful Death Fire Information
Fire and burn injury attorneys can recover millions of dollars on behalf of house and residential fire victims and the family members of victims who have died in house fires. If the case involves things such as faulty wiring, upholstered furniture, gas explosions, flammable liquids and smoke detectors, there is likely to be a party who is responsible or partially responsible for the fire.
Fire injury and wrongful death attorneys like the lawyers at Pritzker Olsen will investigate the facts of the fire, insurance and other corporate documents, real estate documents and other evidence to determine who a fire victim (or the family of a decease victim) can sue. These parties are called “defendants.” Some examples of house fire defendants include:
- the owner of the rental house
- the manufacturer of a defective appliance (heater, stove, drier, etc.)
- the manufacturer of a defective fire alarm
- the manufacturer of flamable furniture
- the builder (contrator) of the house
- an electrician and his or her employer
- a propane company if the cause was a propane tank explosion
- a gas company if the cause of the house fire was a gas explosion
