A Fire in Your Rental May Not Be Your Fault
Morgan & Morgan can help.
Most renters don't realize that a landlord's negligence—not just bad luck—may have caused or worsened a fire. Faulty wiring, ignored repairs, missing smoke detectors, and code violations may make a landlord responsible for your injuries and losses. Morgan & Morgan fights For The People, not powerful landlords or insurance companies. The Fee Is Free®—you only pay if we win.

Who is Morgan & Morgan?
Morgan & Morgan is a personal injury law firm founded in 1988 by attorney John Morgan, built on a simple idea: everyday people deserve powerful legal representation when they are harmed by negligence. America's Largest Injury Law Firm, with 1,100+ attorneys nationwide and $35 billion recovered for clients.
Can I sue my landlord if I already have renter's insurance?
Yes. Renter's insurance and a negligence claim against your landlord are separate matters. If your landlord's failure to maintain the property contributed to the fire, you may be entitled to additional compensation beyond what your policy covers.
What if I don't have renter's insurance?
You can still pursue a claim. A lack of renter's insurance does not prevent you from holding a negligent landlord accountable for your injuries or property losses.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Every state has its own deadlines and legal requirements for fire injury claims. Acting quickly can help preserve evidence and protect your right to seek compensation. Even if your fire happened weeks or months ago, it's worth speaking with an attorney as soon as possible.
What does it cost to hire Morgan & Morgan?
Nothing upfront. Morgan & Morgan works on a contingency fee basis — the Fee Is Free®. You only pay if we win your case.
What if the fire was caused by another tenant or a defective product?
You may still have a claim. If your landlord failed to address a known hazard, or if a defective appliance or product caused the fire, one or more parties may be liable. A free case evaluation can help identify your legal options.
