Understanding Burn Injuries: Causes and Compensation

Burns can be very bad for you, both physically and mentally. After a burn accident, knowing the main reasons and your rights can be helpful. Here’s how it works:

Most burns are caused by carelessness

The good news is that burns are often caused by someone else’s carelessness, which means they should pay for your injuries.

Typical Offenders

• House Fires: Electrical problems, broken tools, and open flames often cause burns from house fires. You might be able to get paid if a product is broken or if your landlord doesn’t keep the electrical wiring or smoke detectors.
• Scalding: Children should avoid hot liquids and steam at all costs. If landlords don’t ensure the tap water’s temperature is just right to avoid burning, they could be held responsible.
• Accidents at Work: In many places of work, people are exposed to fires, chemicals, or hot surfaces. Employers are responsible for ensuring their workplaces are safe; if they don’t, they could be held responsible.
• Auto crashes: Burns can happen in auto crashes from explosions, fires, or touching hot engine parts. Depending on what caused the crash, the other driver or the company that made the parts could be responsible.
• Chemical Burns: Serious burns can happen if you are exposed to strong chemicals. Chemical companies or bosses who don’t give their workers the right safety gear could be sued.

In the event of a car accident, it is the at-fault driver that’s liable. However, if you are the driver who is partially at fault, it is possible to collect compensation from the party, which is proportional to their share of the fault. The compensation will usually be given by the insurance company to either or both parties. If a mechanical or electrical failure caused the accident, then the manufacturer of the defective product will pay compensation.

If you have been injured on the job, the compensation will most likely be given by the company’s insurance policy (worker’s compensation policy). Injuries by defective equipment lead to product liability claims against the equipment makers.

If you seek workers’ compensation, you will be entitled to the following:

• Supplemental job displacement benefits
• Medical bills
• Death benefits
• Permanently disability compensation
