Fires & Explosions: Who Can Be Held Liable for Devastating Accidents?

Jun, 2025
Legal scales and Judge gavel, scales of justice.

Fires and explosions can result in devastating injuries, emotional trauma, and severe property damage. These incidents often stem from negligence, whether it’s unsafe construction practices, defective products, or workplace safety violations. In such cases, determining who is liable is essential for holding the right parties accountable. Slager Madry LLC stands with victims and their families, providing experienced legal guidance to pursue justice and secure rightful compensation.

Common Causes of Fires and Explosions

Many fires and explosions are preventable. At Slager Madry LLC, we’ve seen firsthand how negligence leads to disaster:

  • Construction Failures: Faulty wiring, code violations, and improper storage of flammable materials frequently contribute to dangerous conditions.
  • Defective Products: Malfunctioning appliances like gas stoves, heaters, or electrical devices can ignite fires or cause explosions. Manufacturers and distributors may be held liable.
  • Unsafe Environments: Poor maintenance, lack of training, or ignored safety protocols can put people at risk.

Our team works to uncover the root causes of each incident through detailed investigations and thorough legal insight, key steps in building a strong legal claim.
