Causes of explosions and fires

One of the most important aspects of this type of case is determining the cause of the explosion or fire, as this will be necessary to prove the defendant was at fault. Some of the most common examples of causes for these kinds of accidents include faulty wiring and furnaces, gas leaks, a lack of (or malfunctioning) smoke detectors, the presence of flammable materials in improper areas and the improper use of open flame.

The process of determining the cause of a fire or explosion requires a significant amount of experience, and in many cases it is necessary to bring in outside experts who can analyze the incident to determine what happened. Those experts (engineers, electricians, gas line technicians, etc.) can then serve as valuable witnesses in your case.

Once the cause of the accident is clear, the focus of the case shifts to proving the liability of the defendant.

I endorse Mr. Montes de Oca as an attorney. I have been witness to some amazing results he has obtained for his clients in personal injury cases and criminal defense. I have also witnessed the care he has for his clients, his desire to bring them quality representation that is affordable. In one case in particular he went out of his way to call me about a firearm charge one of his clients faced, knowing that is my area of expertise and that it would be much less expensive for his client for him to have me answer a quick question than decipher confusing firearm laws.
