Scene of the Accident
Commentary:
The fault in this accident is going to depend heavily on the source of the fire. Was it an issue with the gas or electrical lines in the building? If so, then the property owners could be looking at what is called a premises liability claim. On the other hand, there could have been some kind of appliance like a radiator or space heater that combusted, in which case the manufacturer of the fire-prone product could be held liable for the accident. I’d be very curious to know what started the fire if anybody has any more input.
