Building Fires

Understanding Your Legal Rights and Options

A fire in your home or apartment building can be extremely upsetting, even when you are lucky enough to walk away unscathed. The roof over your head is gone. Cherished possessions have been destroyed. All of the smaller things you need to take care of yourself each day are gone. Moving on from something like this can seem like an impossible task at first.

But when you have suffered serious burn injuries in addition to all of those other losses, getting the resources you need to move on and start rebuilding a life may require you to seek the help of an experienced attorney.

At Plattner Verderame, P.C., we have the experience and resources it takes to hold landlords, product manufacturers and other negligent parties accountable for actions and decisions that lead to fires that hurt innocent people. Helping honest people get justice and fair compensation has been the major focus of our work since this law firm was founded in 1982, and our sole focus since Frank Verderame and Richard Plattner joined forces in 1991. Today, the experience, knowledge and resources we've gained can start working to benefit you.

We never forget that we work for real people. If you would like our firm to handle your burn injury claim and we believe in your case, you will have a team of professionals working with you and for you throughout. From start to finish and at every point in between, there will be people you know, people who know you, ready to address your concerns and willing to go to bat for you. Talk to us today.

Trial Experience Makes a Difference

Although most personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits are eventually settled outside of court, it is difficult, if not impossible, to get a defendant or an insurance company to make a reasonable offer unless they know you're represented by a firm that knows its way around the courtroom.

Attorneys at Plattner Verderame, P.C. have a proven track record of results at trial that dates back more than 30 years. In many cases, this demonstrated willingness to go to court – and to do the job well when we get there -- persuades the insurance company to pay what is fair, and saves our clients the expense, delays and risks of a trial. If the defense won't pay what they owe they know they'll see us by your side in court.
