What Investigations Do Texas Fire Lawyers Typically Do After a Fire?
After an accidental fire, a Texas Fire Lawyer typically determines if a proper investigation of a fire was done. More specifically, the legal team investigates what caused the fire and how similar fires can be prevented in the future. The lawyer will also identify all parties who caused the fire or prevented early detection of the fire. These parties may be liable to those injured in the fire and may be required to pay compensation for damages caused by the fire. Further, each of these parties may have insurance that may pay compensation for fire damage. The lawyer's legal team will also gather information regarding the injuries and damages that were suffered by the people in the fire.
These legal investigations can be extremely complicated as there are many different potential causes of fires and numerous potential sources of recovery. In the best case scenario the cause of the fire is simply and determined by the fire department. Further, the responsible parties feel responsible and step up to pay full compensation to those damaged or injured by a fire. However, both situations are rare and more often than not it is difficult to prove who is responsible for fire damage and to make them pay for the damage.
Texas Fire Lawsuits Are Typically Based on Negligence
Though fires occur in nature, many more accidental fires are caused by human error and negligence. Negligence not only causes accidental fires, it can cause fire to spread more rapidly. From direct actions such as arson to more indirect actions such as faulty wiring, defective appliances, negligent storage, faulty construction, negligent maintenance, and lack of fire detection devices and/or prevention equipment, careless and negligent action cause far too many fires that wrongfully kill people, severely injure others, and destroy property. Residential fires and home fires (apartment fire, duplex fire, and house fire) can be especially devastating as they can cause serious injury or death as well as destroy a life time worth of possessions.
Fire Reports and Police Reports Are Typically Requested by Texas Fire Lawyers
If you believe you have suffered damages because of an accidental fire and the fire was caused by the negligent or intentional actions of another, it is important to obtain fire safety reports from the local fire and police departments regarding the cause of the fire as well as speak with someone that is able to investigate the fire with you.
