Anything from electric blankets to pressure cookers can malfunction, causing fires or exploding and causing serious burns. Notably, nearly 3 out of every 4 burn injuries occur at home (source: ABA). While some involve house fires resulting from resident negligence, far too many result from faulty products exploding or catching fire.
On-the-job burn injuries can occur with improper storage of volatile or caustic materials or with malfunctioning industrial equipment (like welders, torches, or ovens). Work settings are the second most common site of burn injuries, with about 8% of burns occurring in an occupational environment (source: ABA).
Dangers, like exposed wiring, poorly maintained equipment, and improperly stored flammable substances, can create risks of burn injuries at any property you may visit. These unsafe premises can include grocery stores, retailers, doctors’ offices, schools, government buildings, and many other properties.
investigating the incident, uncovering liability, and helping you understand and pursue the available legal remedies.
You may have a burn injury case if another party’s negligence was the primary cause of the accident or event that caused your injuries—and if the one-year statute of limitations has not run out. The best way to get a clear answer here is to talk to a Shreveport burn injury lawyer. An attorney can review the details of your situation, evaluating each key detail and explaining the available legal options.
In general, four key elements form the basis of burn injury cases. These elements, which must exist for you to have a claim, include:
First, you must prove that the person or party named as the defendant owed you a duty of care. That means they had a legal responsibility to act reasonably and take certain measures to prevent the fire or incident that caused the burn injury.
For example, a product manufacturer has a duty to create and distribute products that are reasonably safe for ordinary use. A property owner has a responsibility to ensure the premises are properly maintained and visitors are warned of any potential risks. Drivers on the roads have a duty of care to comply with traffic laws.
After a burn injury, what you do or don’t do can make a big difference in your ability to recover. When you want honest answers about your legal options and fierce advocacy for your case, it’s time to contact a 5-star Shreveport burn injury lawyer at Morris & Dewett Injury Lawyers.
