It is estimated that faulty electrical wiring is the second most likely cause of house fires in the country. In addition, faulty wiring could be due to a myriad of things such as the homeowner or renter trying to save money, DIY projects, or simply waiting too late to fix a fault which then turns to be something much bigger and more dangerous down the road. Electrical fires are unlike other forms of fires such as ones that are started by a cigarette butt left lying around the home in that they can be difficult to put out, and may engulf the home before firefighters have a chance to access the scene of the fire. To add insult to injury, many insurance providers are likely to bar you from recovery if it is discovered that you compromised with regard to fixing electrical faults in the past, did the project yourself, or did not hire an authorized electrician. That said, whether you own or are renting, it is important to seek the services of an electrical fire attorney to learn more about what your recovery and compensation options are, regardless of what the insurance company says.

How Can Faulty Wiring Cause House Fires?
Faulty wiring can jeopardize your house in a myriad of ways. It can cause constant short circuit problems, it can melt wires which when they come together can start a fire, and it can cause electrical appliances to explode or catch fire due to fire surges. If you’re renting, you trust that the landlord has done the right thing with regard to making sure that the home has passed all sorts of inspections and is safe for habitation. In the same breath, if you purchase a home, you want to be confident of the fact that the contractor went above and beyond to make sure that all aspects have been inspected and that all building work was done to code. This is what we call duty of care in legalese, and should these two parties breach this duty by acting in a negligent manner during any point of the wire installation, maintenance or repair, you may be able to recover substantial compensation for injuries and other damages as well as non-economic losses such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of consortium and so much more.
