The fire, burn, and smoke inhalation attorneys at Feldman Shepherd have extensive experience in all aspects of fire injury litigation. We have secured multimillion-dollar recoveries for victims in some of the most high-profile fire injury cases in the Philadelphia region.
Fire and burn injury victims may recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, disfigurement, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other losses associated with these horrific injuries. In fatal cases, surviving family members can pursue wrongful death and survival claims, which may cover funeral expenses, loss of financial support and companionship, and your loved one’s pain and suffering prior to death.
Liability depends on the circumstances of the incident. Responsible parties may include property owners, product manufacturers — covering both household and industrial equipment — and individuals or contractors whose negligence caused the fire. At Feldman Shepherd we conduct a thorough investigation in every case to identify all parties who may be legally responsible for your injuries so that we can recover the full compensation you deserve.
In Pennsylvania, you generally have two years from the date of the incident to file a personal injury lawsuit, but you cannot afford to wait. Critical evidence at a fire scene is highly perishable and can disappear, be disturbed, or be altered (such as through environmental exposure) with each passing day. Contact Feldman Shepherd immediately so our team can step in to preserve vital evidence and secure the foundation of your case.
No. At Feldman Shepherd, our fire and burn injury lawyers handle these cases on a contingency basis. That means you don’t pay unless we recover compensation for you.
The Feldman Shepherd fire and burn injury lawyers conduct a rigorous forensic investigation to determine the origin and cause of the fire and act immediately to preserve key physical evidence. We consult with specialized fire, medical, and economic experts to build your case, establish liability, and prove the full extent of your damages. These cases are prepared for litigation from the outset, with a focus on clearly demonstrating how your fire-related injuries have impacted your life.
If your injury occurred on the job, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation. However, if a third party — such as a contractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner — contributed to the origin or spread of the fire, you may be able to pursue a separate personal injury lawsuit. Our Philadelphia fire and burn injury lawyers will carefully review your case to ensure you receive all compensation you may be entitled to.
