A St. Paul Park man was killed in a house fire that began early in the morning. According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune:
Crews battled heavy smoke and fire conditions as they entered the residence around 1:40 a.m. Friday. They found the man lying unresponsive and were able to get him out of the burning house through a first-story window. Medics administered care on the scene before he was taken to Regions Hospital in St. Paul.
The man died at the hospital.
While the cause of the fire is still unknown, it is unclear whether or not the house had a working fire detector.
In a case such as this one, it will be necessary to determine the cause of the fire. A thorough investigation, dictated by protocol in NFDA 92, a guide to investigating fire scenes, will provide valuable information on the cause and spread of the fire.
When our law firm takes a fire-related wrongful death case, we conduct our own investigation of the fire, hire highly-trained and respected experts, use the latest technology to present persuasive evidence to the jury and continue to dig until we know we have the full story.
We also advocate for fire prevention legislation. One of our Minnesota fire death cases involved a mother of two who died in a fire caused by highly flammable furniture. We advocated for more regulations on the furniture industry and continue to monitor the developments in this area.
We have successfully obtained millions for victims of fires and their families. To contact our law firm, please call 612-338-0202, call 1-888-377-8900 (toll-free) or submit our free case consultation form.
