There is nothing better than spending a Sunday brunch at a friends home or an evening social at a neighbors house. When owning a home, you are exposed to several legal issues if you do not maintain your property properly. One aspect that you should always be aware of is fire hazards. If a fire were to break out, and the home you are staying in showed signs of negligence, you are able to seek financial compensation.

Fire injuries can vary. They can be career ending, impose disfigurement, and inflict pain. Depending on what injuries you suffer, you should be entitled to proper and just compensation for the damage that was caused.

Examples of Negligence

If you are a homeowner, you can put your guests and family at serious risk if you do not take the right precautions when it comes to fires and fire prevention. The following are situations we have seen where negligence played a big role as a source of a fire:

– The homeowner failed to install fire alarms in all of the necessary rooms.

– The homeowner failed to buy enough fire extinguishers. The best places to have a fire extinguisher placed is near the fire place, kitchen, and any room that has a gas or flame source.

– The homeowner did not indicate to their guests the fastest exits in case of a fire.

– The homeowner did not keep fire exits clear of obstacles and obstructive elements.

– The homeowner failed to address all fire and safety hazards such as exposed electrical outlets, a faulty oven, and flammable items near the fire place.

Sometimes homeowners really are not to blame for why a fire breaks out in the house but the items mentioned above are clear signs of negligence.
