Causes of Fires and Burn Injuries in Dallas-Fort Worth


Each year there are on average 1.25 million burn injuries in America. These can be the result of many different incidents including house or apartment fires, car wrecks or other auto accidents and defective products. While modern medicine has significantly improved the prognosis of serious burns, the fatality rates among burn victims remains at around 4% within the United States. Fires not only cause property damage, they also cause injuries and death so it is important to understand the necessary precautions to avoid such accidents from occurring.

Residential Fires are extremely common during the winter months because as temperatures plummet, people are more likely to use space heaters or built-in fireplaces to warm their homes - but it is when these are not used properly or safely that a fire could spread. Before using any such device you should make sure that you have read the instructions so that you are aware of how to safely operate it.

If a smoke alarm designed to save your life in the event of a fire does not work, then that product would be considered defective and partially responsible for any burns suffered if you were not able to get out of your house or apartment in time. Likewise, fires can also be caused by defects around the home such as an impaired heating system or faulty wiring.

One of the most common questions a new client has is “What is my case worth?”

The truth is that it is extremely difficult to estimate any injury claim's value until the injured party has ended medical treatment and is either well or as well as he or she is going to get. Only then can you truly put a figure on the damages that should be sought.


There is nothing worse than settling a claim too soon because once you settle, it's final. If your conditions worsen after prematurely accepting a settlement then you have no choice but to pay any additional medical bills yourself. Once your case settles, you cannot force the insurance company to also pay for your medical care in the future.
