Overview

Content is provided by the firm.
Founded in 1986, Fabian, Sklar & King, P.C., is a leader in representing homeowners and business owners in fire, explosion and property damage cases and people who have suffered serious personal injury or death from fires or explosions. We are honored to have received the prestigious AV® certification mark, the highest rating under Martindale Hubbell’s Peer Review Rating™ process, which recognizes law firms possessing the highest professional and ethical standards.

Since the firm’s beginnings, our mission has been to advocate and protect the rights of homeowners, business owners and other policyholders in disputes against insurance companies following disasters. We have successfully handled thousands of property damage claims caused by fires, explosions, windstorms, water and other insured perils, either by negotiating favorable settlements with insurance companies or by obtaining favorable jury verdicts through litigation.

Armed with our expertise in fire liability and explosion cases, we protect those who have been affected by fire or explosion incidents and have collected millions of dollars for clients who were denied their right to full compensation after disasters. Our expertise allows us to effectively and successfully represent clients who have been wrongfully accused of arson and fraud, and we have recovered millions of dollars in fire injury and death cases and products liability litigation. Recently, we recovered $21 million for the children of a couple who were killed in a propane gas explosion.

We have handled claims throughout Michigan and across the United States involving water loss and property damage resulting from windstorms, tornado damage and other natural disasters.

With more than 100 years of collective legal experience, we have cultivated relationships with industry-leading organizations, which regularly call upon our attorneys to conduct educational seminars on property insurance and fire and explosion litigation-related issues.
