Liability for Burn Injuries in Utah

In our more than 25 years of experience as Ogden personal injury lawyers, we’ve come to realize that the vast majority of accidents stem from negligence. Burn injuries can arise from car accidents, chemical spills, workplace incidents, defective products, fires, and explosions. When someone makes a mistake or lapse in judgment that leads to a dangerous situation, innocent people can turn into victims. As a burn survivor, it’s well within your rights to find out who could be liable for your damages. This could be any of the following:

• Driver. If you suffered serious burn injuries in a car accident, the at-fault driver could be the defendant in a lawsuit. You can bring a personal injury claim outside the state’s no-fault auto accident laws if your injuries are serious enough to qualify. If the driver was working at the time of the crash, you could also hold the company accountable.
• Product manufacturer. A defective or dangerously designed product such as a water heater or children’s toy could result in burn injuries. If this is the case, you might not need to prove the manufacturer’s negligence during a product liability claim to receive compensation for your damages. Strict product liability laws protect consumers.
• Property owner. A property defect such as a leaky gas pipe or lack of fire alarms could result in an accident with burn injuries. As a burn survivor after an incident on someone else’s property, consult with an Ogden burn injury attorney about your right to bring a claim against the owner of the premises for negligence.
• Employer. If your burn injury happened at work, consider your right to a personal injury lawsuit before accepting a workers’ compensation settlement award. A personal injury claim can often result in greater compensation if your employer or another party was negligent. Failure to give you proper training or safety gear to avoid a burn injury, for example, is an act of employer negligence.

In many cases, more than one party shares fault for a burn accident. For example, a defective product could catch fire in your apartment complex but the lack of smoke detectors contributed to your severe burn injuries. In this case, you might be able to file a claim against both the product manufacturer and your landlord. A lawyer can help you with these complex claims, gathering evidence and taking other measures on your behalf.
