Fire Caused by Someone Else’s Negligence
Can a fire be caused by someone’s carelessness? Absolutely. For instance, if your landlord had failed to maintain the smoke alarms in your apartment complex and a fire broke out, he would be responsible for the damages caused to your property as well as any injuries you sustained. The same can happen with an unsafe product or because your employer failed to provide a safe working environment.
But in order to prove negligence, you’re going to need an experienced personal injury attorney to help you with your case in New Jersey.
