• A person is hurt in a fire that occurred on another person’s property because of a hazardous condition on that property, such as dangerous electrical wiring
• A person is hurt by smoke inhalation in an apartment fire because their landlord did not install smoke detectors in the bedroom of their unit
• A person was burned while using a defective or malfunctioning appliance
• A person is hurt by a thermal burn caused by hot metals during a car crash that was caused by a reckless driver
• A person suffered chemical burns because a product they used did not have adequate warning labels about potential hazards
