Over 100,000 people in the UK are forced to visit a hospital each year as the result of a burn injury.
There are many different types of burn, which range in severity and level of treatment required. Whilst some of these personal injury cases occur through sheer accident, there are occasions on which you can be burnt through the fault of a third party.
For instance, electrical product manufacturers have a duty to provide safe goods for your use. Whilst burning your ear with a straightening iron or standing on hot curling tongs may be your fault, if an electrical malfunction results in you burning yourself then the producer of the item is the party at fault.
Workplaces that involve the use of chemicals or radiation also have strict guidelines on safety precautions and protective clothing to prevent employees from coming into contact with dangerous substances.
Another industry – albeit unregulated – with a duty of care towards you is the beauty trade, as you are entitled to make accident claims for accident compensation from them if you suffer chemical burns from a hair dyeing procedure or severe skin burns from a sun bed.
As well as causing immediate physical damage, burn injuries are among the most serious because of the long-term psychological affects of any resulting scars. A burn wound can be particularly devastating if it leaves scarring on the face.
At Claims Solicitors, our expert legal professionals will deal with your case in a sensitive manner, to offer you thorough advice on any financial accident compensation you could be awarded for a burn injury.
