Common Causes of Electrical Fires

From 2012 to 2016, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) identified electrical failures as the second-leading cause of home fires.

Some of the most common electrical failures behind these types of fires involve:

  • Defective or ungrounded power outlets
  • Defective electrical appliances
  • Defective lighting fixtures
  • Rodents, pests, and other animals
  • Faulty electrical wiring
  • Extension cords
  • Space heaters

At Cullan & Cullan, our doctor-lawyers will investigate your case to identify the root cause of your electrical fire and the negligent party responsible for it.

Can You Sue Your Landlord for an Electrical Fire?

A landlord is required by law to ensure that their property (apartment, condo, house, or other residential building) is safe for tenants, which includes identifying and fixing any electrical fire hazards. If your landlord either knew or should have reasonably known of the fire hazard but failed to fix it, they may be legally responsible for your electrical fire injuries.

Electrical Fires on Public and Private Properties

Any property owner can be held liable for their negligence in starting or failing to prevent an electrical fire.

If you were injured in an electrical fire on any of the properties listed below, you likely have grounds to seek compensation:

  • Bars
  • Restaurants
  • Movie theaters
  • Hotels
  • Resorts
  • Shopping malls
  • Retail and grocery stores
  • School and college campuses
  • Government buildings

Electrical Fires at Work

In Arizona, the law does not allow employees to sue their employers over workplace injuries. If you were injured in an electrical fire at work, you may seek compensation through a workers’ compensation claim. This will provide you with the benefits you need to take time off work and heal from your burn injuries.

You may sue a third-party if they started the electrical fire, however. This may include contractors and manufacturers of defective products.
