Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do after a fire or explosion injury?
Seek immediate medical attention, even if you feel okay — smoke inhalation and burn injuries can worsen over time. Document the scene with photos if safe to do so. Report the fire to your landlord or property manager in writing. Preserve any evidence of the cause. Contact a fire injury attorney before speaking with insurance adjusters.
Can I sue a property owner if I was injured in a fire?
Yes. If a landlord’s negligence caused or contributed to the fire — through faulty wiring, lack of smoke detectors, blocked exits, or failure to maintain gas appliances — they can be held liable for your injuries and losses. California law requires property owners to maintain safe and habitable conditions.
What if the fire was caused by a defective product?
‘If a defective appliance, heater, or electrical product caused the fire, you may have a product liability claim against the manufacturer in addition to a premises liability claim against your landlord. The Brinton Firm investigates both angles to maximize your recovery.
How long do I have to file a fire injury claim in California?
In California, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of injury. However, evidence from fire scenes — appliance parts, gas valves, electrical panels — can be repaired or destroyed quickly. Contact an attorney as soon as possible to preserve critical evidence.
What causes most building fires?
According to California fire statistics, approximately 49% of residential fires are caused by cooking accidents. Other common causes include faulty electrical wiring, defective appliances, gas leaks, and lack of working smoke detectors. When a fire results from a property owner’s failure to maintain safe conditions, you may have a legal claim.
What damages can I recover after a fire injury?
Fire injury victims may recover medical expenses (including treatment for burns, smoke inhalation, and respiratory injuries), lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, temporary housing and relocation costs, property damage, and in cases of extreme negligence, punitive damages.
How much has The Brinton Firm recovered for clients?
The Brinton Firm has recovered over $45 million for clients injured by fires, explosions, and other unsafe property conditions across Southern California.
