Burn injuries can vary in their degree of severity and cause. Although insurance companies or landlords might try to minimize their responsibility some burn cases are a result of carelessness on their part.

These can include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Workplace – Was the employer adhering to safety protocols and OSHA standards? Was the equipment or product faulty?
• Business – If a burn was sustained at an establishment such as a hotel, restaurant, or other business the business owner is responsible for your safety. Let Augusta personal injury attorneys determine if the business is liable for your injury.
• Auto – Burns as the result of an auto accident may be eligible for compensation if it was the result of manufacturing defects or design flaws of the vehicle.
• Home – It is the responsibility of the landlord to ensure that not only are smoke detectors in working order, but that they are placed in sufficient locations throughout the home in the event of a fire. If this is not the case you may be entitled to a burn injury claim.
