The Villages Burn Injury Lawyer

The Villages Burn Injury Lawyer

Individuals who sustain burn injuries that result from someone else’s negligence are often left with physical and psychological scars that can last for years to come. In many instances, burn injury victims sustain their injuries from careless or reckless conduct on the part of a landlord, employer, driver, or dangerous product manufacturer or distributor.

In those instances, the burn injury victim may be able to recover both economic and non-economic damages for their injuries and harm.

If you have sustained burn injuries as a result of someone else’s negligence, the negligent driver, product manufacturer, or employer – as well as the insurance company adjusters for those individuals – may do everything in their power to minimize your monetary recovery in a personal injury case.

The Villages burn injury lawyer at Glover Law Firm can meet with you to evaluate the facts and circumstances of your case and may be able to help you obtain the monetary compensation you need and deserve for your injuries.

Typical Causes of Burn Injuries

Serious burn injuries are all too common at home, in motor vehicle accidents, at work, or as a result of dangerous or defective products. Some of the most common types of burn injuries that a Villages burn injury attorney can assist with include the following:

  • Apartment building fires
  • Workplace injuries
  • Truck accidents
  • Car fires 
  • Electrical fires
  • Inherently dangerous and defective products
  • Scalding hot water and defective pipes and furnaces
  • Fires in hotels, restaurants, retail stores, nightclubs, and other public spaces

Recovering Monetary Compensation in a Burn Injury Case

When an accident victim sustains a serious burn injury, bodily scarring and the need for costly medical procedures and plastic surgery may result. In some cases, burn injury victims can recover monetary compensation for their injuries and damages under one or more legal theory.

In a negligence case involving, for example, an apartment fire, the burn injury victim must be able to prove that the defendant owed a duty of care to act reasonably and subsequently breached that duty of care. Moreover, the burn injury victim must be able to show that this violation directly resulted in the burn injury and other damages.

On the other hand, for an injured worker to obtain compensation for a burn injury, the worker must have sustained the injury while on the job and in the worker’s scope of employment – such as when the worker was driving a company vehicle or working in a company factory or plant. The injured worker may be entitled to pursue workers’ compensation benefits with the help of a Villages burn injury attorney, regardless of who caused the accident or injuries.

Moreover, in cases where the burn injury victim sustained an injury because of exposure to a defective product, the victim may be able to recover monetary compensation under a products liability theory. Product defects may include defects which are caused by the manufacturing process, design defects, and inadequate or absent product warnings.
