For example, if a public pool used an excessive amount of chlorine, patrons may be entitled to compensation for eye damage, irritation, or other illnesses from the agency running the pool. If a lab worker was exposed to chemicals in the workplace due to an accident, it may be covered by worker’s compensation coverage. In the case of a defective consumer product- like a hair straightener- that burns an unsuspecting user, the manufacturer may be subject to product liability claims. The liable party is determined through the individual circumstances of a specific case.

 

Luckily, burn victims don’t have to navigate the complexities of liability on their own. An experienced burn injury attorney from Loutos Law will analyze the case and establish exactly which party or parties are at fault for your injuries and what insurance coverage may be available to pay for your losses.
