Apartment Building Fires

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) estimates that over 100,000 fires breakout in the U.S every year, with the most common apartment building fires being due to one of the following:

• Negligence in the kitchen while cooking
• Gas heaters and leaks
• Electrical fires from faulty wiring
• Smoking
• Arson

If there is a fire in an apartment building, it is advisable to report the fire by calling 911, always staying clear of the kitchen, which is where most fires breakout in apartment buildings. Get as low as possible and head towards the nearest exit. Do not open the door if the knob is hot. If unable to exit the apartment, stay where you are and wait for firefighters to arrive. Apartment buildings should have fire alarms that are regularly inspected to make sure they work, as well as working fire extinguishers, emergency lighting, emergency evacuation map, and landlords are obliged to make sure the property they rent has no gas leaks or electrical short-circuits that could cause a fire.

Can a Landlord be held liable for Personal Injuries or Losses from an Apartment fire?

Landlords are bound by law to guarantee safe living conditions for their tenants. This includes:

• Fire exists and evacuation plan
• Fire safety materials such as fire alarms and extinguishers
• Proper emergency lighting
• Safe gas connections and regular inspection/maintenance
• Safe electrical installations
• Carry Fire Insurance to cover injuries, damages, or losses to third party victims if liable for negligence

If you, a friend, or relative was the victim of negligence by a landlord following an apartment building fire, contact the Perazzo Law Firm ONLINE for a FREE initial consultation.

Hotel Fires

Over 3,500 hotel and motel fires occur every year across the United States. Smoking is perhaps the number one cause of all hotel fires, but poor maintenance of appliances and electrical installations ranks a close second. Through vicarious liability, hotels are bound by law to be readily equipped and uphold all fire prevention regulation. Thus, a hotel operator may be held liable if negligence is determined to be the cause of the fire which led to injuries and losses suffered by hotel guests. Though most hotel accidents involve slip and fall situations suffered by guests, a fire in a hotel can be extremely traumatic and potentially deadly when there is no fire prevention or safety plan in place in the event of a fire in a hotel.

In Miami, the Perazzo Law Firm recommends contacting our office for a FREE initial consultation if you, a friend, or relative suffered bodily harm or losses in a hotel fire that could have been prevented by the hotel operator. Our personal injury staff reminds fire accident victims that burns are considered permanent injuries and can have a traumatic, life altering change on the quality of the fire accident victim’s life.

Restaurant Fires

The kitchen is where most fires start, and a restaurant kitchen is always in action. A boiling pot of water, a steak frying on a pan, and an open flame near a greasy dishrag all have the potential to cause a fire in a kitchen. Faulty wiring, inflammable substances, and negligence can also lead to a fire breaking out in a restaurant kitchen. Fortunately, restaurant owners and operators carry fire insurance to cover premises liability lawsuits in the event of injuries suffered by diners and staff members in a fire.

Following a restaurant accident that ends in injury, losses, or wrongful death, the service of a dedicated personal injury lawyer are strongly recommended. Contact the Perazzo Law Firm ONLINE now to find out about a possible insurance claim for compensation to cover losses.
