What matters in a fire dispute

  • avoid limiting the investigation to one convenient explanation of the cause;
  • compare the origin, damage patterns and documents;
  • distinguish a technical hypothesis from a legal assessment of culpability;
  • formulate conclusions carefully and in a form usable in court.
