Fire and Explosions

After the Fire

At the Morristown Law Offices of John S. Hoyt, we work with clients who have suffered a serious personal injury or sustained sizable personal damage as a result of the negligence or wrong doing of another individual. In the case of fire and explosions, these kinds of cases often result in the most serious kinds of injury and damages.

Among the many causes of serious fire and explosions:

  • Faulty Wiring
  • Malfunctioning Equipment
  • Improperly Used Heaters
  • Improper Storage of Flammable Liquids
  • Negligence
  • Insufficient Furnace Maintenance
  • Hazardous Electrical and Gas Equipment
  • Smoking in Hazardous Areas

Whether because of negligence in the workplace or as a result of a product defect, fire and explosions can cause serious injury and significant property damage. The costs associated with these damages can be massive, and you need a lawyer able to help you recover sufficient compensation to cover those costs.
