Types of Claims Available for Burn Injury Victims

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that a majority of burn injuries occur in and around the home. These injuries could result from anything from structural fires, malfunctioning home appliances, or landlord negligence. Though burn injuries in the home are the most common, they are by no means the only type of burn injury. Every year, hundreds of burn victims in Allen Tx are injured in their homes, vehicles, workplaces, or other private or commercial properties.

No matter the circumstances of your burn accident, if your injuries were fully or partly caused by another individual or entity, you could be eligible to file a burn injury lawsuit to seek compensation for your damages with the help of a qualified Allen Tx burn injury attorney.

The top Texas attorneys at Carabin Shaw have vast knowledge about the intricacies of burn injury law. Some of the many types of claims available for burn injury victims that our team of Allen personal injury lawyers are qualified to represent include:

Fire and explosion burns are the most common type of burn injuries suffered nationwide. As a result, these types of claims are among the most common handled by burn injury attorneys in Allen.

Steam from hot liquids can cause extensive surface damage. These burns are the most common in children and the elderly. These types of burn injury claims are often filed against neglectful caretakers.

One of the most dangerous injuries victims sustain from residential and commercial fires is inhalation of carbon monoxide byproducts. Even if you have not sustained surface burns, you can still file a carbon monoxide poisoning claim to seek compensation.

If you have suffered a thermal, chemical, or electrical burn from a faulty appliance, you may be eligible to file a personal injury claim against the product’s manufacturer.

If your employer does not have worker’s compensation insurance or if your workplace burn injury was caused by a third party (i.e. a coworker, manager, vendor, etc.), you can file a workplace burn injury claim to seek damages.

If a landlord has failed to adhere to state and federal fire safety codes and you were burned in their rental property, you can sue them for the cost of your damages in a personal injury claim.

If you were burned by the intentional and wrongful act of another, you can sue for punitive damages in addition to your physical, economic, and emotional damages.

If you have lost a loved one due to their burn injuries, you can file a wrongful death lawsuit to seek compensation for your grief and any related funeral costs.
