    Explosion And Fire Accident Investigation – A Necessity For A Successful Claim

    Because of the devastation involved in an explosion or fire, getting to the bottom of what happened requires experts and meticulous investigation. To determine the cause of an explosion or fire, many factors may be involved. Our injury lawyers retain the world’s top experts in the field to work with them in figuring this out for the client.

    The experienced attorneys at Clifford Law Offices have dealt with explosion and fire cases before. Gas explosions require attorneys who understand property owner negligence law and can address the very complicated nature of these cases.

    We are equipped to deal with grain bin explosions and any other type of agriculture-related explosions, which have occurred with increasing frequency in recent years.
