Few injuries can be as severe as those resulting from fires and explosions. No matter the size or scope of the incident, all fires and explosions have the potential to cause catastrophic damage such as disfigurement, severe and chronic pain, and scarring. If the accident resulted from faulty wiring, a defective product, a negligible person, or any other at-fault party, you may have the right to pursue financial compensation to pay for any lost wages, medical bills, and psychological trauma associated with the accident. If you or a family member face injuries from a fire or explosion, it’s crucial that you seek legal representation as soon as possible.
