Personal Injury Lawyers Helping Workers and Families
At the law firm of Kantrowitz, Goldhamer, Graifman, Perlmutter & Carballo, P.C., our personal injury attorneys provide representation to victims of explosions and fire accidents, as well as the family members of those fatally injured as the result of explosions. We work hard to thoroughly investigate claims and to pursue the maximum amount of available compensation.
Fire and explosion accidents, in addition to burn injuries, may cause broken bones, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injuries, even wrongful death in the most tragic cases. The medical treatment for these injuries may be expensive and painful, including reconstructive surgery. Burn victims may also sustain significant emotional damage due to disfigurement and scarring, as well as the extreme pain associated with their injuries.
Why Should I Hire an Attorney after a Fire at Work, at Home or at a Construction Accident?
Burns and explosions may happen on construction sites, industrial workplaces, apartment complexes, homes and other places. These accidents can be caused by:
- Chemicals
- Improperly installed furnaces
- Gas mains and propane tanks
- Automobile fires
- Electrical fires
- Other fires
When these types of accidents are the result of negligence, it is important for victims to pursue the maximum level of compensation allowed by the law. For residential homeowners, this may require negotiation with an insurance company or investigation into a defective product that caused the fire.
Was there a Construction Accident Fire or Explosion?
On job sites such as construction sites, industrial work sites, warehouses and others, it is important for proper safety to be kept at all times. This is especially the case when hazardous chemicals are involved. When safety is not kept as a main priority, explosions and fires may occur that cause catastrophic and fatal injuries to workers and others on the property.
If you have been injured as the result of an explosion in New York or New Jersey, it is important that you speak with an experienced accident lawyer about your rights as soon as possible. Call us toll free at (866) 971-0927 to schedule a free consultation. There is no obligation and we take injury cases on a contingency basis. You will only pay attorney fees if we secure a settlement or verdict on your behalf.

KGG Law, and Barry Kantrowitz in particular, set the bar high for what a thorough, practical, strategic, compassionate and smart lawyer can be. Everything about Barry's advice and representation was exemplary and the stress mitigation that resulted was invaluable. On top of that, the ultimate result Barry achieved was beyond what was reasonable to expect and we are forever grateful. Often, people say that you hire a lawyer to prevent a problem. Sometimes, unfortunately, you need an attorney to solve a problem and I could not recommend Barry and his firm any more highly in that regard.Posted on Google

My dad had a great experience with this law firm. From the very beginning, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and always willing to answer our questions. They kept us informed throughout the entire process and made what could have been a very stressful situation much easier to handle. We truly appreciated their dedication, honesty, and hard work. Thanks to their support, my dad felt confident every step of the way. We are very grateful for everything they did and would highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for reliable legal representation.Posted on Google

Kate Carballo is a dedicated, passionate, and creative attorney whom I had the pleasure to lecture with at a state trial lawyer's conference. Kate's lecture demonstrated how she uses her innovative and "out-of-the-box thinking" to achieve outstanding results for her injured clients. That Kate is certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a civil trial attorney is a testament to her skills, experience and commitment to excellence.Posted on Google

Was referred to KGG law by a friend and could not have asked for better legal representation. They walked me through every step of the process after my accident and began every call with “ how are you feeling” which was just one example of how much they care about their clients. They handled my case very efficiently, professionally and courteously. My attorney Kate Carballo was a rock star! So clearly experienced, she consistently made me feel at ease with the process. Highly recommendPosted on Google

We had a great experience with the team at KGG Law. While it was a traumatic time for our family, they made it very easy for us and explained all of our options. They even performed due diligence to make sure that after our settlement, there would be no further issues which I think is even more important than the settlement itself. Thank you!Posted on Google
