How Burn Injuries Happen
Burn injuries can result from vehicle fires after a crash, building fires, gas and propane explosions, electrical hazards, scalding liquids, chemical exposure, and defective products such as batteries, heaters, and appliances. The severity depends on the depth and size of the burn, and severe burns often require skin grafts, repeated surgeries, and long-term scar treatment.
Product Defect Burns
When a product catches fire, overheats, or explodes during normal use, California product liability law may allow a claim against the manufacturer, distributor, or seller even without proof of carelessness. Preserving the product and its packaging is critical. Do not throw it away or return it to the manufacturer before speaking with an attorney.
How We Help
- Investigate the cause of the fire or explosion with qualified experts
- Preserve the product, the scene, and electronic evidence
- Identify property owners, landlords, contractors, and manufacturers who may be responsible
- Document medical treatment, scarring, and emotional effects
- Account for future surgeries, therapy, and lost earning capacity
FAQ
Burn Injury Questions
What should I do with the product that caused my burn?
Keep it, along with any packaging, receipts, and manuals, in a safe place. Do not attempt repairs or send it to the manufacturer. It may be the most important evidence in your case.
Can I recover for scarring?
Yes. Disfigurement and scarring, along with the emotional effects that come with them, are part of the damages in a burn injury claim.
My landlord ignored a fire hazard. Is that a claim?
It may be. Landlords and property owners have a duty to address known safety hazards such as faulty wiring or missing smoke alarms.
How much does it cost to hire you?
Nothing upfront. There is no attorney fee unless we recover compensation for you.
