Fires and smoke exposure can cause devastating physical injuries, long-term health issues, and emotional trauma.

At The Kaufman Law Firm, we fight for victims whose lives have been upended by fire or smoke-related injuries.

Fire and Smoke Injury Claims

Founding Attorney | AV-Rated Trial Lawyer | 30+ Years of Legal Experience

Injuries from fires or prolonged smoke exposure can be life-threatening and require extensive medical care. Severe burns often involve multiple surgeries, skin grafts, and painful rehabilitation. Smoke inhalation, even without visible burns, can lead to serious respiratory issues such as lung damage, chronic breathing problems, or even permanent disability.
These types of injuries are frequently caused by negligence—whether it’s a utility company’s failure to maintain power lines, a landlord’s lack of fire safety measures, or defective products that spark flames. Victims face not only high medical bills but also lost wages, emotional distress, and long-term health complications.
Martin J. Kaufman, an AV-rated Super Lawyer with over 30 years of trial experience, is dedicated to holding responsible parties accountable. Our firm has the resources, expert network, and litigation experience to pursue claims involving fire-related personal injuries, ensuring that every aspect of your loss—from medical care to pain and suffering—is fully addressed.
