What Causes Industrial Burn Accidents?

Many industrial jobs involve heavy machinery, flammable chemicals, and other potential fire starters. Studies have found that up to 45% of all burns in the U.S. occur in the workplace. Employees may be injured when:

Hot work is not properly shielded and/or takes place too close to flammable or combustible items
Friction between two items causes sparks
Flammable dust combusts
Flammable liquids/chemicals are not stored properly
Electric circuits malfunction
Incinerators, boilers, heaters, or other equipment overheat

There are countless things that could go wrong in an industrial workplace, especially when someone else is negligent.

Can You Sue for a Burn at Work?

When something goes wrong, you may be able to hold a product designer, manufacturer, retailer, or maintenance company liable for causing your industrial burn injury. It depends on the defect and negligence at the heart of your case.

For instance, if you were burned by heavy machinery, an attorney would look to uncover one or more of the following types of negligence:

Defective design: If a piece of machinery did not have enough safety features built into it, the designer would be held liable.
Manufacturing defect: If something went wrong during the manufacturing process and led to a product defect, then the manufacturer would be responsible.
Failure to warn: If a retailer failed to notify your employer that a machine was defective or recalled, then you may have reason to sue that retailer.
Failure to maintain: If a maintenance company failed to regularly inspect and repair a piece of machinery, then it can be held responsible for burns caused by the out-of-repair machine.

If none of the above apply, you may have a right to collect workers’ compensation. Unfortunately, employees cannot sue their employers. There may be some exceptions, however, such as if the employer did not have workers’ comp insurance when they should have.

It is best to consult a skilled lawyer after suffering an industrial burn. We offer free consultations so that you can learn your options without any obligations or risks.

How Our Industrial Burn Injury Attorney Can Help You

We can assist you by:

Conducting Thorough Investigations: Determining the exact cause of an industrial burn injury is crucial to a successful claim. We collaborate with industry experts, accident reconstruction specialists, and medical professionals to conduct an in-depth investigation. This approach enables us to gather the evidence needed to demonstrate liability, whether it rests with the employer, a product manufacturer, or another party.
Building a Strong Legal Strategy: Industrial burn cases often involve multiple layers of liability. We meticulously analyze each aspect of your case, from employer negligence to possible product defects, to ensure no avenue of compensation is overlooked. We build strong, evidence-backed cases that are designed to hold negligent parties responsible and maximize your financial recovery.
Pursuing Full Compensation for Your Losses: Industrial burn injuries often lead to significant medical costs, long-term rehabilitation costs, and lost income. We strive to secure full compensation for these economic damages and the pain and suffering you’ve endured. In extreme negligence or misconduct cases, we may also pursue punitive damages to hold the responsible parties accountable and deter future negligence.
Handling Complex Negotiations and Litigation: Many industrial burn cases involve negotiations with large companies or insurance providers. We understand their tactics and have a track record of achieving favorable outcomes. If the insurance company or responsible party refuses to offer a fair settlement, we are fully prepared to take your case to court and present a compelling case before a judge and jury.
Providing Compassionate Support Throughout the Process: Recovering from an industrial burn injury is both physically and emotionally challenging. We are committed to easing the legal burden on our clients, offering compassionate support and regular updates on case progress. We aim to provide peace of mind while fighting for your compensation.
