House fires, workplace explosions, and other sudden disasters can cause catastrophic injuries and, tragically, take lives in a matter of seconds. When these events happen because someone cut corners on safety, whether a landlord, a manufacturer, a contractor, or an employer, the victims and their families deserve accountability. The fire and explosion injury lawyers at Wieand Parker Arreola, PLLC, investigate what went wrong and pursue the parties responsible.
Fires and explosions often have more than one contributing cause, and more than one party can share responsibility, such as a landlord who ignored fire code violations, a contractor who performed faulty electrical work, or a manufacturer whose defective product ignited. Our firm has recovered significant compensation for families affected by these tragedies, including a $6.4 million result in a house fire case. Investigating a fire or explosion often requires working with fire origin-and-cause experts, engineers, and other specialists to determine exactly what happened and who is responsible.
Survivors of fires and explosions can face burn injuries, smoke inhalation, respiratory damage, and lasting emotional trauma, along with the loss of a home and personal belongings. Families who have lost a loved one in one of these disasters may be entitled to pursue a wrongful death claim. We work to recover compensation for medical care, lost income, property loss, and the pain and suffering these disasters cause.
