Burn Injuries Caused by Defective ProductsIf you were injured due to a malfunctioning or defective product or appliance, you may have legal grounds for a product liability claim. Whether the burn was caused by a design defect or manufacturing defect, you can recover compensation if your injuries were preventable and were caused by the product.
Each year, hundreds of Americans are burned by defective products, such as:
- Heaters
- Kitchen appliances
- Cleaning chemicals
- Electric blankets
- Camping equipment
- Flammable clothing
- Flammable household products
- E-cigarettes
- And more
Negligence occurs whenever a person or company fails to take proper care in protecting those to whom they owe a duty of care—and this failure to use reasonable care results in injury or damage.
If you were hurt on another person’s property, you should know that as the property owner, they owed you a duty of care. And if a dangerous condition on their property—or their careless actions—led to your burn injury, you may have grounds for a successful premises liability lawsuit against them.
What Damages can be Recovered After a Burn Accident?If your burn injury was directly caused by another party’s negligence, you can recover damages from the at-fault party. If your injuries are severe, you will likely qualify to recover both economic and non-economic damages.
- Economic damages are financial losses incurred by the accident, such as medical bills, hospitalization costs, lost income, and more.
- Non-economic damages are harder to calculate, but they cover a range of intangible losses—emotional suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, mental anguish, and more.
To find out what your damages are after a burn accident, you will need to consult with a qualified burn injury attorney who specializes in this type of claim. They will investigate your accident to determine liability, and will then help you understand what types of damages you may qualify for.
