Louisville Premises Fire Attorneys
Fires can be very destructive and endanger the lives of any who are in a building when a blaze erupts. There are over 362,000 residential fires every year across the country costing close to $6.6 billion in damage. And while there are a number of different causes of residential and non-residential fires, many are attributable to the failure of a property owner to adequately identify and eliminate fire hazards.
If you have been injured in a fire on another party’s property, you may be able to seek financial compensation through a civil lawsuit. A successful legal action might help you to obtain the resources you need to pay for medical bills and other damages. Contact the Louisville fire attorneys of the Sampson Law Firm at 502-584-5050 today to begin building your case.
Dangerous Fire-Related Negligence
Under premises liability law, property owners are deemed to be responsible for the welfare of their guests. This requires that they address any known or reasonably foreseeable fire hazards and also insists that they implement appropriate preventive measures or extinguishing equipment. The following are examples of failures which may warrant the pursuit of legal action:
- Not properly installing fire alarms or sprinkler systems
- Failing to routinely check fire alarms and sprinklers to ensure they are working properly
- Violating building codes and regulations
