Schenectady Lawyer for Industrial Fire Victims
Burn injuries are just one catastrophic consequence of fires in the workplace and elsewhere. Anyone caught in a fire may suffer severe and potentially fatal effects of smoke inhalation — including damage to the lungs and throat, often accompanied by some level of carbon monoxide poisoning or other toxic exposure.
If you have been exposed to a fire on your job in construction, manufacturing or any other occupation, a prompt and thorough medical examination is a must. People who escape without burns or other severe, visible injuries may still require treatment for smoke inhalation, which can cause brain damage and other life-altering problems. Another important step for your future could be your decision to contact an Albany Smoke Inhalation Injury Lawyer.
Dedicated to Determining Liability and Pursuing Just Compensation
Investigations of industrial fires and explosions sometimes uncover negligence by an individual or company other than the victim's employer. Examples include:
- Property owners who knew about but failed to correct inherently dangerous conditions
- Contractors and subcontractors responsible for dangers such as faulty wiring, defective heating and ventilation systems, and nonfunctioning or inadequate smoke detectors and extinguishers
- Other parties responsible for commercial building inspections or enforcement of workplace safety laws
Bringing together decades of legal experience, our attorneys are well prepared to lead an investigation into who can and should be held liable for your smoke inhalation injuries, burn injuries or the wrongful death of a loved one. Workers' compensation insurance may not be your only source of financial recovery — nor your most valuable — and we focus on proving third-party liability that justifies strong legal action.
