Common Types of Fire & Burn Injury Cases

Fire and burn injuries can arise under many different circumstances. Our lawyers have the experience necessary to find out what happened to cause your accident and injuries.  Many cases involve:

• Auto accidents. Often a serious auto accident can cause a car’s gasoline tank to catch fire and explode. The burn injuries caused by these types of accidents are almost always extremely serious, if not ultimately fatal.

• Product liability. Defective products can malfunction and cause terrible burn injuries. Anything from poorly manufactured automobiles to negligently designed power tools or even home appliances can be to blame.  Unfortunately, even a defective smoke alarm could be to blame for magnifying the effect of a catastrophic fire.

• Work accidents. Many chemical burns, explosions and electrocutions occur at work. Sometimes the accidents are due to product defects, such as faulty machinery. In some cases, workers’ compensation covers the damages.  In other cases, the accident may have been caused by some other “third party” who is not the employer, giving you the right to pursue a lawsuit for additional compensation.

Our fire and burn injury attorneys in Rochelle Park, NJ had handled a fatal accident case involving a man whose car flipped over and caught fire. During the course of our investigation, we found that the accident was caused by a tire that fell off while he drove and that the tire was not properly secured by his mechanics. We successfully obtained a $4.25 million confidential settlement for the victim’s family. (See our News and Notable Cases page for more about this and other past successes.)
