Burn Injury Claims & Negligence

Victims who suffer burn injuries in preventable accidents can bring personal injury lawsuits against the responsible parties to recover their damages. These civil claims may be brought against any number of defendants and for many different reasons, depending on the facts of a case. However, they’re nearly always based on claims that the defendant was negligent in causing harm.

Examples of things that can give rise to a burn injury lawsuit:

• Motor vehicle accidents caused by negligent drivers
• Premises accidents involving unsafe property conditions
• Defective products
• Fires and explosions
• Utility accidents
• Unsafe management of hazardous materials
• Unsafe workplace conditions and work injuries
• Medical malpractice

Elements of an Injury Claim

A successful personal injury claim requires plaintiffs to prove a few important elements. Generally, this means establishing that:

1. A legal duty existed (i.e. a property owner owed the plaintiff a duty of care to keep their premises free from burn hazards);
2. The defendant breached their duty because of negligence;
3. The defendant’s negligence was a substantial cause of injury; and
4. The plaintiff suffered damages as a result.

Our team conducts meticulous investigations to gather evidence needed to establish clients’ claims. We’re also adept in negotiating out-of-court and mediated settlements and have the track record to prove we know how to litigate in court when needed.
