The tragic reality of chemical and fire accidents is that a majority of them are preventable. Hard-wired home and apartment smoke detectors have a high rate of failure. Common household chemicals such as lye, cleaning products, uric acid, and acetone can cause chemical burns and allergic reactions. The most common injuries associated with fires and chemical spills are burns and damage to the eyes. Lung and respiratory issues are the result of the inhalation of chemicals and smoke.
Our attorneys have significant experience handling these cases. We regularly work with chemical, accident reconstruction, and medical experts to understand the cause of, the science behind, and the medical consequences of fire and industrial accidents.
Industrial Fire and Chemical Accidents
Industrial accidents involving fires and chemicals primarily impact plant workers. However, it is not unusual for a truck or train carrying industrial chemicals to crash, resulting in a chemical spill, or for a chemical plant to explode, affecting families in surrounding neighborhoods. We have the skill, experience, and resources to represent workers and families injured as a result of industrial fires and chemical accidents. In addition to any personal injury litigation, we can effectively handle any associated workers' compensation claims.
