Causes of Fires and Electrical Injuries

Work-Related Electrical Injuries and Burns
Many times, construction workers building structures come into contact with dangerous power lines or faulty power tools. If you or your family member was injured at work, you may be entitled to more than a workers’ compensation claim.
House and Apartment Fires
When a house or apartment fire is caused by poor electrical work, an electrician could be at fault. Additionally, if an apartment building manager fails to maintain smoke detectors and sprinklers or heed other building code requirements, the property owner can he held responsible if tenants or guests are injured in a fire.
