Lawyers Providing Legal Help to Fire Victims in Illinois

No one ever expects to be injured in a fire. However, when dangerous fires occur, the physical, emotional, and financial consequences can be devastating for victims and families.

Pursuing Compensation for Fire-Related Injuries and Losses

Fires can cause serious injuries, including severe burns, smoke inhalation, and respiratory problems. In some cases, these injuries can be life-threatening, or fires may even result in the death of one or more people. People who are injured in a fire may require extensive medical treatment, including hospitalization, surgeries to address burn injuries, and ongoing treatment for respiratory damage or other forms of bodily harm. Fires can also result in extensive property damage, and families may struggle to rebuild their lives after suffering the loss of their belongings in a fire.

Tenants who rent property may be at risk of fire injuries due to the negligence of a landlord or other parties. Apartment fires may occur due to fire code violations, dangerous electrical wiring, or other fire hazards on a property. In these cases, landlords may be held accountable for the fire injuries suffered by tenants. If fires were caused by defective or dangerous products, such as faulty appliances, tenants or homeowners may take legal action to recover compensation from the product manufacturer, a contractor or technician who did not install items correctly, or other parties who acted negligently and failed to take the proper steps to prevent fires.

In some cases, fire injuries may occur due to defective fire prevention systems, such as smoke alarms or sprinklers. If alarms do not go off at the proper times, the residents of a home or the occupants of a public building may not be able to get to safety, and they may suffer serious burns or smoke inhalation injuries. If sprinklers or fire extinguishers do not function properly, fires can quickly burn out of control with no way to stop them, and this can result in extensive property damage or injuries to a building's occupants. In these situations, the manufacturers of these defective products may be liable for injuries and damages suffered by victims.
