Degrees of Arson
There are different degrees of arson, which are largely defined according to whether someone was hurt or killed as a result of the fire and the estimated value of the property that was destroyed. If individuals inside the property died during the fire, the arsonist will also be charged with murder.
Other factors that contribute to the degree of arson charges include whether the structure was inhabited by a person, the time of day in which the fire occurred, and the proximity of a person's residence to the burned structure. A property owner who uses arson to file a fraudulent insurance claim will be charged with third-degree arson in many cases, which is a felony. Our attorneys can craft a defense strategy to help obtain the best possible results if you or someone you know has been charged with arson.
