Protect Your Legal Rights:
Have Fire Scene Inspected by Someone on Your Side

There are many legal issues and complexities involved with fire and explosion cases. Prompt inspection of the fire or explosion scene is a necessity. Without it, valuable evidence establishing cause and origin of the fire can be lost. Experienced burn injury lawyers will be able to speak with the fire marshal, obtain copies of fire and law enforcement reports and make sure that trained fire investigators inspect the fire or explosion scene and gather appropriate evidence.

Do not talk about your fire or explosion case with anyone other than police and fire officials. Anything you say to insurance company representatives or investigators could make it more difficult for you to settle your claim. It is also a good idea not to sign anything or give a recorded statement without talking to a fire, explosion and burn injury lawyer first.

Pennsylvania Fire and Explosion Lawsuit Venue

The parties involved in your Pennsylvania fire and explosion case will determine whether the lawsuit will be filed in state or federal court.

The federal court system for Pennsylvania is divided into three districts:

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania is the highest court in the Commonwealth. It is also the oldest appellate court in the nation, dating to 1684. The court makes final interpretations of state law and has administrative authority over the entire Pennsylvania court system.
