Case Summary:
Our client tragically lost her life in a residential fire that originated from faulty, unpermitted electrical work performed by an unlicensed electrician. She resided in a second-floor apartment that had no fire escape, only one exit, and no working smoke detectors—all in violation of basic safety standards. These compounding hazards contributed to her inability to escape and ultimately caused fatal burn injuries.
Our investigation revealed clear negligence on the part of both the electrician and the property owner, who failed to ensure a safe living environment.
Outcome:
Managing Partner, Mike Malvey, resolved the case for the maximum available settlement funds, holding the responsible parties financially accountable and bringing a measure of justice to the victim’s family.
