If we had a dryer malfunction that caused fire and damage in our home are we entitled to more than a refund?

Ms. Raines,  I'm sorry this happened to you.  It actually happened to my wife and I many years.  we were lucky and only the dryer was damaged. Regarding your question of whether you can get more than just a refund, it is going to depend on what actually caused the fire.  For example, if the dryer was defective and that was the cause of the damage, it is possible to make a claim for the damage to your house.  but, if, for instance, the dryer caught fire because there was excess lint in the trap, then making a claim would be very difficult. Considering the recall and the company's willingness to get a refund, I suspect the fire was caused by a defective product.  You should call a products liability attorney to discuss this. but, you are likley going to encounter that most products liability lawyers dont handle claims just for property damage. Bringing products liability claims is very expensive. I would suggest sending the company a complete estimate for the repairs that are needed/already finished and ask them to pay for it.  See what their response it.  Good luck! Tim
