About Burn Injuries Caused by Negligence
Negligence is one of the main reasons why burn injuries occur. For instance, a burn injury could be caused by a work-related accident if the victim works near heat sources, electricity, radiation, or chemicals. Other common causes also include car accidents and dangerous or defective products. Burn injuries also result from inadequate or missing fire life safety systems, including smoke detectors and fire alarms, often due to negligent landlords.
When an individual sustains an avoidable burn if not for negligence, he/she can recover financial compensation through a personal injury lawsuit. A burn victim may be entitled to both economic (e.g. medical bills and lost wages) and noneconomic damages (pain and suffering).
Treatment for a burn injury may require surgery, physical therapy, and other forms of long-term medical treatment, especially if it results in serious disfigurement.
How Long Do I Have to File a Claim?
Every state places a time limit on how long an injury victim has to file a claim before they lose their right to recover compensation from the negligent party. In California, there is a two-year statute of limitations on burn injury cases.
