When thinking of burns, many people only think of flames from a burning fire. Burns can also occur from other sources, such as electricity, chemicals, radiation, and even extreme cold. Someone else’s negligent, reckless, or malicious behavior can lead to burn injuries in different ways.
Property owners and business managers need to keep their properties safe for visitors and guests. If a fire occurs or someone experiences a contact burn from touching an uncovered heat source, the property owner could be legally responsible.
People can experience burns in car, truck, and motorcycle accidents when a vehicle bursts into flames or explodes, when chemicals leak during a crash, when skin touches a vehicle’s hot metal surfaces, or when electrical problems occur.
When an unsafe product causes a consumer to sustain a chemical, thermal, or other type of burn, they might be able to sue the product’s manufacturer.
Workers can experience serious burns from electrocutions, fires, and exposure to toxic or dangerous chemicals.
Other causes of burn injuries include medical malpractice, negligent security, and nursing home abuse.
