Fire Incidents in Texas

Every day, numerous people are injured in fires in Texas. Many victims suffer devastating injuries due to defective appliances and heaters, faulty wiring, and acts of negligence. The aftermath of a fire incident can have far-reaching consequences for both victims and their families. Many fire incidents result in stacking medical costs, repair fees, and lost wages. In many cases, victims are left with life-altering injuries that require extensive medical treatment. Far too many people are forced out of work to recover from their injuries.

Although there are several treatment options available for victims, they all come at a very high cost. Regrettably, there is no way to ensure that victims who sustain burn injuries will fully recover.
