Situations in which people have been injured in a fire or burned and need legal representation for their personal injuries include:

• Workplace hazards – Dangerous working conditions could lead to various types of burn injuries. Factory employees and construction workers use equipment every day that could cause fires and burns. A restaurant employee may even get burned from hot surfaces in the kitchen.
• Defective products – Due to design defects, products can potentially overheat or catch on fire and cause damage to the user. The products most likely to cause burns are those that use batteries or combustible materials.
• Car accidents – When there is a serious car accident, there is a high risk of the car’s gasoline igniting and setting the entire vehicle on fire. Passengers and drivers in car accident fires could suffer severe or fatal burns.
• Truck accidents – Fuel tanker truck accidents could cause massive explosions that would be fatal to any person within the blast radius. This explosion could cause a chain reaction of explosions and fires from the surrounding vehicles.
• Gas and fuel explosions – Any situation where natural gas, propane, or other types of fuel are used could cause an explosion or fire. These situations include propane tanks, gas pipelines, gas furnaces, and water heaters.
• Chemical accidents – These types of accidents are commonly mistaken to occur only in science labs, however ordinary household products such as bleach, pool chlorinators, teeth whitening products, and concrete mix all have the potential to cause chemical burns.
• Apartment fires – Fires in apartment buildings are caused by cooking accidents, arson, faulty fire alarms, unattended fires (candles & smoking), heating devices, and electrical issues. A large number of apartment fire injuries are because of negligent landlords not maintaining a safe living environment.
• Hotel fires – Fires in hotels are caused by negligent hotel staff and owners, cooking mistakes, and faulty fire or smoke alarms. Hotel owners often fail to take proper safety precautions for fires.
• Scalding injuries – These types of injuries involve hot liquids or steam and cause deeper damage than burns from dry heat. Scalding injuries are caused by high-temperature water from showers, baths, faucets, and high-temperature liquids from hot beverages.
• Faulty electrical system – Electrical fires are caused by faulty electrical systems such as exposed live wires, faulty outlets, old appliances, overuse of a power source, broken light fixtures, overuse of extension cords, and defective heaters.
• Arson – Willfully setting fire to a property is a crime that is punishable by the law. This malicious act could lead to severe or fatal burns of innocent people.
