Scientists say climate change is making weather more extreme and wildfires more frequent and destructive.  The fires charred numerous neighborhoods in a suburban area northwest of Denver and high winds pushed flames that fed on bone-dry grasses and vegetation on open spaces to suburban subdivisions.  Global warming increases the risk of the hot, dry weather that fuels wildfires.  About 90 percent of Boulder County was in severe or extreme drought last Dec.  Denver set a record for consecutive days without snow before it got a small storm on Dec. 10.  The fires, fueled by dry conditions and winds that gusted more than 100 mph, were blamed for destroying more than a thousand structures. 

Most homes affected by the raging wildfires in Colorado were completely destroyed.  The fires caused severe property damage to both structures and personal belongings.  A fire damage insurance claim could also include potential lost wages and business interruption losses.  Even partial property damage caused by a fire can make a house unlivable or require costly repairs.  Additionally, fires can damage heating and cooling systems as well as plumbing.

The cause of the Sept. 2 fire, which killed 34 people, is now the subject of an intensive investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board, the U.S. Coast Guard, and other federal and county agencies.  A preliminary investigation has suggested serious safety deficiencies aboard the vessel.

Fire damage to your home, boat or business can be sudden and devastating.  If you have suffered smoke or fire damage and your insurance company seeks to deny, delay or underpay your valid claim, we encourage you to contact the experienced insurance lawyers at Corless Barfield Trial Group at 813-258-4998. 

Fire damage is a hot topic in the news.  A jury in Oakland, Calif., recently found one man not guilty of 36 counts of involuntary manslaughter in the 2016 fire at Oakland’s Ghost Ship warehouse but could not reach a verdict for the building’s leaseholder.  It was one of the deadliest nightclub fires in U.S. history, killing 36 people. 

The Ghost Ship fire tore through a late-night party in Oakland’s Fruitvale neighborhood that had been transformed into a ramshackle artist collective known as Ghost Ship.  The jury’s verdict begs the question, what is the duty owed to the public to protect from a fire?

Whether your home or business was completely destroyed by a fire or only partially damaged, your insurance company will attempt to delay, deny or underpay your property damage claim.

Homeowners and business owners should bring in a policyholder attorney to help prove the worth of their fire claims and protect their rights. Insurance companies rarely contemplate the hidden effects of a fire in your home or business when they consider your compensation package and initial settlement offer.

Besides the structural damage, fires can also damage heating and cooling systems, plumbing, and concrete or steel building materials.  Additionally, there is the costly damage caused by smoke, soot, and the water used to fight the fire.
