Our firm represented the family of a young mother who was trapped in an apartment fire with her two young children, who all perished in a blaze that tore through a large apartment complex. The lawsuit alleged that despite recent renovations to the complex (which claimed “cutting edge” safety), numerous fire and safety regulations were ignored. This was a heart-breaking case that emphasizes the need for landlords and contractors to be vigilant in adhering to fire prevention laws and regulations. A few simple steps could have avoided this tragic outcome.
