Beyond the immediate loss, fires cause incredible destruction and can lead to major injuries. First and foremost, victims should seek medical attention right away if they have severe burns. Large local hospitals or burn units are best suited to handle these types of wounds.
From there, if you or someone you love is hurt in a fire in a home or apartment, you should contact a knowledgeable personal injury lawyer who can handle the intricate details of these injuries. For example, there are a few methods to prove that a building’s owner was liable for a fire. Negligence is found when someone proves that a defendant did not behave as a reasonable person would have under the given circumstances.
