Are your burns due to someone else's negligence?
 

If you have suffered a burn injury as the result of someone else's negligence, you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit.
 

Negligence can include incidents such as:

• Fires caused by defective or dangerous products

• Chemical spills due to hazardous workplace conditions

• Burns from radiation exposure

• Injuries sustained in extreme cold weather, such as when you are forced to work or wait outside

 

Types of burns
 

There are three main types of burn injuries:
 

• First-degree burns: These burns occur on the very outer layer of skin. These burns can be painful, but many individuals are able to recover from them in about a week's time.
   

• Second-degree burns: These burns are more intense and often result in blistering of the skin. These burns often require medical treatment and can take several weeks or even months to heal.
   

• Third-degree burns: These are the most severe type of burn and often affect all layers of the skin. These burns often require extensive surgery and can leave permanent scarring.
   

Proving damages
 

In order to recover compensation for you injuries, you first need to prove that you suffered damages. These could be economic (medical bills, lost income, etc) or non-economic (mental and emotional harm).
 

To prove damages, with the help of your attorney, you'll need to collect:

• Receipts

• Medical bills

• Tax records

• Testimony from medical professionals and family members

 

Proving negligence
 

The next part of your case is proving negligence. You need to show that the defendant owed you (the plaintiff) a duty of care, that their duty was breached, that the breach caused the injury, and that harm was done.
