Fire and Burn Injury

Representing the injured, the wronged and their families

An Alabama burn injury can be devastating both physically and emotionally, but many people do not believe that fires or burns are something that can happen to them. Numerous fires and resulting burn injuries, including death, occur each year across the United States. In fact, statistics reveal that every 19 seconds a fire department responds to a fire somewhere in the United States. Those most vulnerable to suffer injury or death in a fire are children younger than 5 and adults over 65.

Fires have many causes including defective products and improperly maintained property. In addition to causing irreplaceable property loss, fires can also cause burn injuries that are disfiguring, painful, and even deadly. The United States has the highest rate of fire-related deaths in the developed world. If a manufacturer creates a defective product or if a property owner is negligent in the maintenance of the premises and that negligence results in a fire, those parties can be held responsible for your injuries.

If you or someone you love has been injured in a serious fire in Alabama or anywhere else in the United States, or otherwise suffered burn injuries resulting from someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation.  Contact an Alabama burn injury lawyer at Cory Watson.
