BAKERSFIELD FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS LAWYER

Fires and explosions are a common cause of catastrophic injury and death and they are almost always emotionally devastating to the injured parties, as well as their family members. In 2012 alone it is reported that approximately 2,855 deaths and 16,500 injuries occurred as a result of fires and explosions.

During that year, fire departments in the United States responded to an estimated 1,375,000 fires and fires and explosions caused an estimated $12.4 billion dollars in property loss. View NFPA reports and statistics.

Fires and explosions have a wide array of causes, including defective electrical and/or lighting systems, improperly stored and improperly maintained chemicals, natural gas leaks, methane leaks, propane leaks, failure to follow confined space regulations, car accidents, truck accidents, oilfield accidents, construction accidents, agricultural and farm accidents and defective household appliances such as heaters, washing machines, dryers and air conditioning units.

For those injured in a fire or explosion as a result of another’s negligence, a personal injury lawsuit is likely the only means by which compensation may be obtained. Depending on the circumstances, compensation may be available for certain types of economic loss, including past and future medical expenses, past and future lost earnings, lost earning capacity and loss of ability to provide household services. In addition, compensation may be available for certain types of noneconomic loss such as past and future physical pain, mental suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, disfigurement, physical impairment, inconvenience, grief, anxiety and humiliation.
