South Carolina Fire & Burn Injury Lawyers

Charleston Fire Accident Attorneys

Far too many fires and resulting burn injuries occur each year in South Carolina-injuries that can be devastating to the victims' health, quality of life, and finances. If you or a loved one has been the victim of a South Carolina fire or burn injury caused by someone else's negligence, you may be due compensation for your injuries.

Fires have many causes including defective products and improperly maintained property. The consumer products most commonly associated with fires include:

Wood and coal burning stoves and fireplaces
Kerosene heaters
Gas-fired space heaters
Portable electric heaters
Cooking equipment
Cigarette lighters and matches
Upholstered furniture
Mattresses and bedding
Clothing
Flammable liquids

Common causes of South Carolina home fire accidents and deaths include careless smoking, disrepair and misuse of heating equipment, and cooking accidents. Use of alternate heat sources such as space heaters or electric blankets increases the chance of starting a fire, especially if these items are not maintained or operated properly.

If a negligent product manufacturer or property owner caused your burn injury, you may be entitled to compensation. Fire and burn litigation is extremely complex, making it beneficial to have a knowledgeable, compassionate South Carolina fire and burn injury lawyer on your side. Some of the critical steps necessary in a fire or burn injury case include:

Pinpointing the cause and origin of the fire
Gathering and analyzing the evidence
Testing the products and materials involved in the fire
Identifying the responsible parties in a timely manner
