This combination of trial skill and focused knowledge gives our clients a strong advantage for defense and settlement of fire and explosion claims. Wiedner & McAuliffe’s emphasis on preventing spoliation of evidence and preservation of the accident scene in fire and explosion incidents often favorably influences the way that insurers deal with insurance recovery cases, ensuring that our clients have access to the accident scene before evidence is destroyed. In any fire or explosion matter we combine our understanding of investigation procedures, science and liability defense with that of our expert witnesses to create an effective defense based on:
Our emphasis on early retention of experts and timely accident investigations have eliminated our clients’ products as the cause of the injury or damage in numerous case, thereby short-circuiting lengthy and expensive litigation. We are frequently able to exclude plaintiffs’ expert witnesses based on the strength of our own investigation and testimony, positioning our clients for favorable settlement, summary judgment or defense verdict. And we have a solid record of appellate success in fire and explosion litigation, preserving our clients’ victories and reversing their losses before federal and state appellate courts. Fire and explosion cases often involve emotional
and contentious issues of costly damage, personal injuries and death.
Wiedner & McAuliffe attorneys are skilled at the techniques
of investigation, analysis and litigation that separate allegation
from fact, and use them to give our clients maximum defense of their
legal rights and business interests.
