Catastrophic Fires. Lifelong Scars.

When a fire devastates your life, it is rarely a simple "accident." It is a catastrophic failure caused by negligence. Our firm has the expertise and resources to investigate the true cause of the fire and hold the responsible landlords, manufacturers, or corporations accountable for the devastating harm they have caused.

Fires Are Not Accidents—They Are Failures

The most critical question in any fire case is "Why?" Why did the fire start, and why did it spread? The answers almost always point to negligence. Our firm's deep experience in fire litigation allows us to identify the liable parties that others might miss.

We have the knowledge and resources to pursue claims against all potential defendants:

  • Negligent Property Owners: Landlords and apartment complexes that fail to maintain safe wiring, provide working smoke detectors, or ensure clear fire exits are violating the law and putting tenants at risk. We hold them accountable.
  • Defective Product Manufacturers: A fire may be caused by a faulty appliance, a defective space heater, a malfunctioning e-cigarette battery, or flawed electrical components. This is a product liability claim, and we have the expertise to prove it.
  • Workplace & Industrial Negligence: Explosions and chemical fires on jobsites are often caused by failures in safety protocols (OSHA violations), improper storage of flammables, or defective industrial equipment.

Understanding Fire Injury Claims in Texas

Fire-related injury cases are often complex, involving multiple liable parties such as landlords, product manufacturers, or property owners. We understand Texas liability laws, insurance processes, and safety regulations — ensuring every responsible party is held accountable.

Types of Fire Claims

We Handle Claims Involving

  • Workplace fires: Caused by unsafe conditions, electrical failures, or equipment malfunction.
  • Residential or apartment fires: Due to negligent landlords or faulty smoke detectors.
  • Vehicle fires: Triggered by fuel system leaks or mechanical defects.
  • Defective products: Such as flammable fabrics, batteries, or home appliances.

Each case requires deep investigation, and our team is equipped to uncover the truth behind every cause.

Our "Cause and Origin" Investigation

Evidence in a fire case is destroyed in minutes—both by the fire itself and by the water used to extinguish it. The insurance companies for the at-fault parties deploy their experts immediately. You must have an expert team on your side, just as fast.

  1. Secure the Fire Scene: We file immediate legal notices to prevent "spoliation"—the destruction of evidence. This stops landlords or corporations from "cleaning up" the scene before our experts can analyze it.
  2. Deploy Certified Fire & Explosion Investigators (CFEI): Our CFEI experts are trained to read the char patterns, analyze burn rates, and sift through the debris to find the fire's exact point of origin. This is the key to proving what caused the blaze.
  3. Analyze Building Code & OSHA Violations: Our knowledge of Texas building codes, NFPA standards, and OSHA regulations allows us to pinpoint specific failures that prove negligence, such as improper fire suppression systems or blocked exits.

Burn Injury Impact

The Devastating Impact of Burn Injuries

Burns are among the most painful and life-altering injuries. Our goal is to ensure victims receive compensation that reflects both their physical suffering and long-term needs. Common fire-related injuries include:

  • Thermal burns: From direct contact with flames or hot objects.
  • Chemical burns: From exposure to toxic or corrosive substances.
  • Electrical burns: Caused by faulty wiring or exposed circuits.
  • Inhalation injuries: From smoke, fumes, or toxic gases, leading to lung damage.

Understanding the Lifelong Cost of Burn Injuries

  • Severe Burn Injuries (Third & Fourth Degree): Destroy all layers of skin and often damage underlying muscle, nerves, and bone.
  • Smoke & Toxin Inhalation Damage: Superheated, toxic smoke sears lungs and airways, causing permanent respiratory and brain damage.
  • Psychological Trauma & Disfigurement: Survivors face immense trauma (PTSD) and challenges living with permanent scarring.
