Florida Fires Lawyer
Accidental fires are terrible events, particularly when they cause you or someone that you care about to be injured. While some fires occur naturally and with all proper safety precautions in place, there are far too many that occur in the U.S. each year as a result of negligent property owners. Every property owner has the responsibility to meet certain safety standards for their property, which are in place to decrease the risk for the development of a fire. Because the injuries sustained in a fire can be especially devastating and expensive to treat, many victims of fires are left not only trying to recover physically and emotionally, but also financially. Fortunately, when the accident occurs on another person’s property and is due to their negligence, a victim of a fire may be able to sue for financial compensation through a premises liability lawsuit.

Causes of Fires
Fires can be caused by a variety of negligent behaviors on a property owner’s part. For instance, some of the more common causes of fire-related injury include:
- Failure to maintain fire monitoring equipment, like smoke detectors
- Failure to uphold fire safety codes
- Failure to prepare property to withstand dangerous dry conditions
- Failure to maintain property structures, which can collapse and cause fires
When a property owner or manager is guilty of these or other actions that fail to adequately provide a safe environment for visitors and tenants, they may be held financially responsible to any victim’s injured in a fire.
