Apartment Fire
If you live in an apartment building or other common-living environment, the owner of the building has a responsibility to make sure you are safe. If you are injured in a fire, burned by an appliance, or scalded by a defective faucet, you may have a case against your landlord. If a defective product is involved, you may also have a case against the manufacturer, distributor and retailer of the product. If you have been injured in an apartment fire, contact a lawyer at Pritzker | Ruohonen for a free consultation. You can call toll-free at 1-888-377-8900, e-mail info@pritzkerlaw.com or fill out our online, attorney-consultation form. Read about an apartment-fire lawsuit settled by Pritzker | Ruohonen. Fred Pritzker and his team recovered $2,950,000 for victims of a Minnesota apartment fire.
