Common Causes of Fire and Explosion Accidents
There are often multiple parties at fault in fire and explosion cases
At The Marrone Law Firm, LLC, we understand that fire and explosion accidents often have more than one cause.
A fire in a residential building could have been caused by both negligence on behalf of the employees of the building management or ownership companies, as well as faulty devices such as smoke detectors.
A car fire can be caused by the reckless or drunk driving of the other driver as well as an improperly positioned gas tank on your vehicle.
Finally, a gas or chemical explosion can be caused by a poorly-sealed holding tank as well as negligent supervision and training of the employees of the company that manages the facility.

Where necessary, we will also bring in experts from Philadelphia, throughout Pennsylvania, and across the nation to help conduct a thorough investigation to establish which parties are liable for your injuries.
Negligence in Fire and Explosion Cases
The importance of the duty of care
In reviewing the facts surrounding an explosion or fire that resulted in injuries or deaths, it is crucial to prove that the standard of care was not met.
Our years of experience have shown us that fire and explosion accidents are the result of the acts (or series of acts) and omissions (not acting when the standard of care dictated that the person should have acted) of often more than one party. It is precisely when individuals and corporations fail to adhere to the duty of care to which they are legally bound that often horrific fires and explosions occur.
In many cases, the negligent parties responsible for these fires and explosions are businesses with the ability to pay. Yet the manner in which they operate dictates that they will pay their teams of lawyers and insurance companies to defend against your claim even when the cost of doing so is more than paying you the compensation to which you are legally entitled.
This is why people who have been injured in a fire and explosion need the counsel of an experienced personal injury attorney to help navigate the process of your claim and fight the liable parties who are fighting for their business even though they are in the wrong.

- Scarring, both physical and emotional
