Dealing with the aftereffects of a fire in your home can be challenging, both emotionally and physically. If you are suffering from a burn or smoke injury as the result of a fire in your apartment or home you were renting, your challenges may be lessened once you know, understand and enforce your tenant's rights.
If you are a fire victim who was living in a San Francisco rent-controlled apartment building, the experienced burn and smoke injury lawyers at Bracamontes & Vlasak, P.C. may be able to help you recover compensation for your injuries.
Oakland Fire Explosion Accident Lawyers
At Bracamontes & Vlasak, we have substantial experience representing victims of fires in all stages, including relocation, cause and origin investigation, litigation, and tenants' rights to re-occupy buildings once repairs are made.
Burn and smoke injuries can be the result of many different causes, including:
- Fire accidents
- Explosion accidents
- Landlord negligence
- Defective appliances
- Boilers and heating systems in apartment buildings
- Faulty electrical systems
California law and San Francisco ordinances give tenants displaced by a fire important rights with respect to relocation, personal injury, property damage, and potentially holding the landlord and/or third parties liable for the damages they have suffered.
If you have been injured as the result of your landlord's failure to keep the apartment building in good repair, our attorneys provide comprehensive fire litigation representation for your injuries. We will investigate your situation and review the facts for all types of claims, including injuries, property claims, as well as costs and expenses you incurred as a result of being displaced by the fire.
