Compensation for House Fire Injuries and Loss of Life

House fires cause catastrophic injuries and can be deadly. Thousands of people in Florida are seriously injured or killed in house fires annually. Sadly, many of these tragedies are preventable and result from carelessness or defective equipment. In addition to residential homes, fires commonly occur in businesses, hotels, conference centers, schools, sports arenas, restaurants, vacation properties, rental homes, Airbnb rentals, and other venues.

Representative Case

Under premises liability, a property owner is responsible for upholding a duty of care for their tenants or guests. In a recent case, Attorney Lyons represented a tenant who sustained significant injuries from a fire in a rental home. After a thorough investigation, it was discovered that the property owner had neglected to install and maintain adequate and functional smoke detectors in the home. The outstanding legal work of Attorney Lyons resulted in a substantial award on behalf of the client.

Liable Parties

Often, the person or entity responsible for a fire may not be apparent until there is a meticulous investigation. Defendants in a house fire may be property owners, tenants, real estate management companies, building contractors, or manufacturing companies of defective products.

To prove negligence, an attorney must present evidence that the responsible party knew or should have known about a hazardous condition and failed to act. Witnesses, photographs, medical records, and video footage can help build a case. Other types of evidence include the official fire investigation report from the fire department and any reports from insurance companies. An attorney must also prove that the victim suffered damages from the fire. Damages may include medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, or losses associated with wrongful death.

Common Causes of House Fires include:

Candles

Space heaters

Faulty electrical wiring

Overloaded or faulty outlets and extension cords

Improper storage of flammable liquids such as gasoline

Grills and other outdoor cooking equipment

Dryers

Careless smoking

Types of Injuries

Burn injury victims face an uncertain future. It is an exhaustive and painful road to physical, emotional, and mental recovery. Injuries from house fires include smoke inhalation, burns, and emotional trauma. Scarring and disfigurement are lifetime reminders of the accident that caused them. The high price of burn treatments includes skin grafts, physical therapy, and psychological counseling.

In addition, financial instability is often devastating to a victim and their family. The aftermath of a fire can affects a victim’s ability to maintain their livelihood. Victims need assistance with medical bills for hospitalization and rehabilitation facilities, funds for treatment, living expenses, lost wages, and in some cases, home health care when discharged from a facility.
