…..John R. Vivian, Jr., has represented victims as a result of chemical explosions, carbon monoxide poisoning, house fires, and commercial fires over his 33 years of practice. These cases are particularly technical and again require the expertise of fire investigation and consultation with proper experts in any case. Many of these cases involve defective products, be it a furnace or other devices which occasioned and caused the conflagration that causes death or serious injury. Many other cases involve a lack of proper maintenance, improper installation of fuel fired appliances, improper handling of chemicals, and concepts of product liability. The selection of a proper investigator and gathering of information is absolutely crucial to any recovery in a fire and explosion case. It is important that the investigation starts as quickly as possible in order to preserve whatever evidence exists. You should schedule a free consultation as soon as you are able if you or a family member has been impaired as a result of this type of accident scenario.
