Accidents happen all the time. However, many accidents can be attributed to a the actions or negligence of another person, employee, or company.
When a fire causes death or severe injury to a nursing home resident, one must conduct a thorough investigation to find out who was liable in the accident. This is essential in order to determine how victims will be able to get the compensation and justice they deserve following such a tragic incident.
A fire which razed through a Quebec nursing home early last year, killing more than 30 seniors, brought to light the level of negligence that any fear may be prevalent in North America when it comes to keeping nursing home residents safe.
There are many nursing home fires reported every year. We've mentioned a few of the deadliest, below:

A fire can lead to many serious injuries, if not fatalities. Due to the advanced ages of nursing home residents, many are not able to effectively deal with these kinds of injuries, leading to slow healing. As such, medical expenses can run much higher than one might imagine. It is important to have a life care planner determine exactly how much this care may end up costing, as you do not deserve to be left in debt due to someone else's negligence.
Smoke inhalation is the most common injury reported when it comes to structure fires. Residents who survive these fires may be faced with a lifetime of lung-related problems such as labored breathing and bronchitis due to smoke inhalation. The pain and suffering caused by these types of injuries is unimaginable. You need a law firm on your side who will fight for every penny your loved one deserves.
