Massachusetts Faulty Smoke Alarm Law Lawyers · One of Just a Few Firms in the U.S. Focusing On Defective Smoke Detector Laws and Injuries
The need for at least one smoke alarm on each floor of your home has been recognized for decades. The simple and responsible steps of purchasing, installing and maintaining your home's smoke alarms should greatly increase your safety and the safety of your family in the event of a fire. What can you do, though, when your smoke alarm doesn't go off when a fire occurs, and injuries and/or damages result?
The Milton law firm of Colucci Colucci Marcus & Flavin, PC, has handled numerous smoke alarm injury cases and brings a wealth of knowledge regarding how these devices can fail and cause otherwise-preventable injuries. There are two general types of smoke alarms:
- Photoelectric alarms, which detect smoke
- Ionization alarms, which detect heat
The majority of smoke alarm-related injuries involve ionization alarms and their failure to detect heat in slow-burning fires. If you have questions regarding whether a defective smoke detector failed to go off, our Boston defective smoke detector lawyers can provide qualified and experienced legal assistance.
Diligently Gathering Information Regarding Defective Smoke Alarms and Presenting It in Court
When you tell a judge or insurance representative that a smoke alarm "just didn't go off," you will likely not get very far or obtain much compensation. You need persuasive evidence.
We are experienced in investigating accidents and defective products. In a recent defective smoke detector case, we presented a film in which an operating ionization smoke alarm failed to go off even though it was placed above a smoldering sofa. By proving that smoldering fires don't generate sufficient heat to set off ionization smoke alarms in some instances, we were able to successfully advocate for our injured client's rights.
Faulty smoke alarms may lead to dangerous apartment fires. Talk to an attorney from our firm for more information.
