What Can Lead to a Burn Injury Claim?

A claim may arise when negligent conduct or an unsafe product exposes someone to flames, electricity, chemicals, scalding liquids, or extreme heat. Examples include vehicle fires, faulty wiring, unsafe hot-water systems, chemical exposure, and defective appliances or batteries. Responsibility depends on what created the danger. For instance:

• A driver may be liable for burns caused by a vehicle collision and vehicle fire.

• Property owners may answer for ignored electrical hazards or inadequate fire protections.

• Manufacturers and sellers may also face liability when a defective product overheats, explodes, or ignites during expected use.

California Laws That Apply to Burn Injury Cases

Negligence

California Civil Code §1714 states that everyone is responsible for an injury caused by a “want of ordinary care.” This rule may apply when a business, property owner, contractor, or driver fails to address a foreseeable fire, electrical, or chemical hazard.

Product Liability

Defective-product cases may follow the strict liability rule in Greenman v. Yuba Power Products, Inc. The California Supreme Court explained that a manufacturer may be liable when a product “proves to have a defect that causes injury.” This principle can apply when a faulty heater, battery, appliance, or vehicle component causes a fire or explosion.

Pure Comparative Negligence

California also uses pure comparative negligence. In Li v. Yellow Cab Co. of California, the court held that an injured person’s contributory negligence “shall not bar recovery.” If you share responsibility for the incident, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault rather than eliminated.

Statute of Limitations

California Code of Civil Procedure §335.1 provides “two years” to file most injury lawsuits based on another party’s wrongful act or neglect. Delays can also make damaged products, inspection records, and surveillance footage harder to obtain.

Compensation for the Full Impact of a Burn Injury

A burn injury claim may include compensation for both financial losses and the personal effects of the injury. Recoverable damages may include:

• Current and future medical care, including hospitalization, skin grafts, reconstructive procedures, medication, rehabilitation, counseling, and follow-up treatment.

• Lost income during recovery.

• Reduced earning capacity caused by permanent limitations.

• Physical pain and discomfort.

• Emotional trauma and psychological distress.

• Scarring and disfigurement.

• Loss of enjoyment of life.

• Property damaged in the incident.

The value of the claim depends on the burn’s location and severity, the need for future procedures, permanent restrictions, and the available evidence of fault.
