Cigarettes and Fire Safety

Injuries from explosions frequently begin with simple home fires that quickly get out of hand, and one of the common causes of such fires are cigarettes and other smoking-related causes. An average of 9,000 residential fires occur each year from such causes, resulting in nearly 450 deaths, over 1000 injuries, and hundreds of millions of dollars in property damages.

Many of the victims of such fires and explosions are completely innocent of any negligence or wrongdoing, and unjustly burdened with excessive medical bills and other damages. If you have been injured due to the negligence of a smoker, let an experienced explosion attorney of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. help you recover the compensation you deserve.

Safety Guidelines

All smoking-related fires and explosions are preventable, and by adhering to the following guidelines, you can help eliminate the risk of accident and injury:

• Never smoke around oxygen tanks or other highly flammable materials
• Ensure that cigarettes are fully extinguished before leaving them
• Use deep ashtrays to prevent loose embers from escaping
• Refrain from smoking indoors

Unfortunately, victims of fires and explosions are frequently not even smokers themselves, and it is impossible to fully prevent the negligence of other parties.
