injuries caused by smoke detector failure
At TROLMAN GLASER CORLEY & LICHTMAN, P.C., we handle a wide range of personal injury claims, including those involving apartment fires caused by faulty smoke detectors and fire alarms or the failure to install and maintain them.
Although apartment residents are responsible for changing the batteries in smoke detectors, landlords are responsible for providing working smoke detectors and repairing and replacing broken ones.
Failure to do so can cause residents to suffer devastating burn injuries and smoke inhalation injuries. These injuries can be devastating and permanent, as victims are left with steep and ongoing medical bills and are often unable to return to work.
Our attorneys have successfully handled numerous personal injury claims and know how to fight to get results for our clients. We will explore every source of recovery to help you and your family get the monetary compensation you need to make it through this difficult time.
