How Someone’s Negligence Causes Burns and Fire Injuries
Landlords, property owners, and employers owe their residents, guests, and employees a safe place to live and work. If someone’s negligence harms you or a loved one, you have the legal right to hold them accountable. You could be awarded compensation for emergency and rehabilitative medical care, lost pay, pain and suffering, and other losses.
As burn injury lawyers, we have seen the heartache of family members whose lives were dramatically changed due to negligence.
Some of the more common contributing factors of negligence may include:
- Unsafe electrical wiring that is not up to standard building code
- Locked or blocked fire exits
- Lack of smoke detectors and other warning devices
- Broken or nonfunctioning smoke detectors (for example, no batteries)
- Failing to comply with fire marshal occupancy rules
- Unsafe appliances, machinery, or equipment
- Lack of fire safety training and precautionary measures (such as practicing escape plans and fire drills)
- Negligent security that failed to prevent violent acts, such as arson
You may be entitled to compensation for negligence caused by the examples above or other types of liability. Call a member of our Tallahassee legal team today for a free consultation.
