Our attorneys at Tarshis & Hammerman are here to help you get what you need from your personal injury claim. We know that no amount of money can undo the damage of an injury or the loss of a loved one, but it can serve to ease the financial burdens of your injury.

Many of the heat-related injury cases we handle involve premises liability issues. Such cases arise when a property owner was negligent in maintaining a safe premises, either in residential or commercial spaces.

Common Forms Of Negligence

Negligence could mean a failure to protect customers, guests or residents from:

• Exposed wiring in incomplete construction or remodel projects
• Improperly maintained electrical outlets
• Lack of fire exit signage
• Lack of fire doors that delay fire spread
• Illegal bedrooms lacking exits
• Faulty smoke alarms and fire alarms
• Faulty sprinkler systems
• Who Was At-Fault Versus Who Was Negligent

While the fire or utility failure may not be the property owner’s fault, building and fire codes need to be in place to protect people from potential injuries. Our attorneys can make sure a strong case is made to investigate the cause of the fire, whether or not the property owner was negligent, how that negligence contributed or caused your injury and to what extent the injury has affected your life.

Common Causes of Burn and Electrocution Injuries

• Electrical Failures: Exposed wiring, faulty outlets, and ungrounded electrical systems can cause severe electrocution injuries.
• Fire Accidents: Poorly maintained fire exits, lack of fire doors, or defective smoke alarms can cause devastating fires and burn injuries.
• Negligent Property Owners: Property owners have a responsibility to maintain safe living conditions. Failure to do so can lead to dangerous situations where burn injuries and electrocution can occur.
