San Diego Fire And Explosion Accident Lawyers

The damage caused by a fire or explosion accident can be severe and life-altering. Burn injuries are among the most severe injuries a person can obtain, and the road to recovery can be long and painful. Many fires and explosions are caused by someone’s negligence, whether it occurs in a construction accident, motor vehicle crash, public transportation accident or any other type of accident. The San Diego accident attorneys at Martinez & Schill LLP are skilled in handling all types of personal injury cases, including those involving fires and explosions. We know how to build an effective case to prove liability in these accidents, and our San Diego fire accident lawyers aggressively seek the maximum possible compensation for our injured clients and surviving family members.

Injuries From Fire And Explosion Accidents In California

Having to escape from a fire or explosion is one of the most terrifying experiences a person can have, and it is one in which an individual may not come out unscathed. Survivors can suffer numerous serious injuries in a fire, including smoke inhalation, broken bones (from trying to get out) and burns. Burns range in severity from first degree (superficial burns to the outer layer of skin) to third degree (serious burns to all layers of skin). Recovering from third-degree burns is typically a long, hard process and may require numerous surgeries, including skin grafts. Rehabilitation is also typically required, especially if the burns are to a person’s limbs.

It is important for an attorney to accurately quantify the full cost of an injury from a fire or explosion. Fire victims often require medical care for many years, during which time working may not be possible. If your accident was caused by the carelessness or recklessness of someone else, you are entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical expenses (past, present and future)
  • Rehabilitation costs
  • Lost wages
  • Permanent disability
  • Pain and suffering
