Burn Injury Attorney in Murfreesboro

Several factors can cause burns, but most are caused by coming into contact with hot surfaces, steam, boiling liquids, fire, or chemicals. Electricity can also result in severe burns, along with radiation exposure.

Your job or certain situations can increase your risk. These include but are not limited to the following.

• Workplace accidents. On the job, workers can be exposed to corrosive chemicals, electrical burns, or dangerous conditions that can cause fires and injury.
• Car collisions. Car crashes can cause burn injuries if car components overheat or a fire starts in one of the vehicles. In situations where another driver caused the crash, or a car manufacturer designed a car that posed a risk of overheating or fire, the injured parties may have a claim.
• Defective products. Each year, consumers are injured by overheating laptops and electronics, shortening appliances, and even exploding e-cigarettes and other devices. If any product you use caused an explosion, fire, or overheating event, which led to injuries, you may have a claim.
• Premises defects and liability issues. The owners of apartment buildings, condos, stores, and public spaces must ensure their premises are safe for visitors. If they are negligent by not having operating fire alarms or by having outdated electrical equipment, or if property owners are negligent in other ways, those who sustain burns because of this recklessness may have a premises liability claim.
