Tampa Arson Defense LawyerAttorney for Criminal Arson Charges in Tampa, FLPurposefully starting a fire or an explosion that affects any building or structure is known as arson. This crime is commonly committed by juveniles, but adults also partake in the activity, often with much more sinister goals. While many teens start fires because they are interested in the flames themselves, adults often commit arson in an effort to hide other crimes or to commit insurance fraud. Recently, an increasing number of desperate homeowners facing huge mortgages have been setting their homes ablaze in order to collect money to pay off their massive debts. This has made it increasingly hard for innocent fire victims to escape accusations of wrong doing and collect insurance payments. It does not matter how much damage is done, any intentionally-caused fire damage done to a building qualifies of arson. Even if the person who started the blaze had no intent to damage the building itself, the act is still a crime if they started the fire on purpose. Arson is a felony charge in Florida and those convicted will face life imprisonment, massive fines, long probations and hours of community service.
