Burn Injury Attorney in Murfreesboro

If you experience a severe burn, multiple layers of skin are often affected. This can include the fatty layer, sweat glands, hair follicles, and even nerve endings. The skin may look leathery, red, white, or even black. Since the nerve endings are damaged, you rarely experience any pain, and this can add to the dangers associated with severe burns.

These types of burns are generally considered emergencies and require prompt medical evaluation and treatment. While accidents can happen, sometimes negligence is the cause. If you suffer a severe burn due to someone’s negligence, you may be able to recover compensation for your damages. This means you need a Murfreesboro burn injury lawyer. Contact Morgan & Morgan to learn more and for a free, no-obligation case evaluation.

FAQ

Common Causes of Burns

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 If they are negligent by not having operating fire alarms or by having outdated electrical equipment, or if property owners are negligent in other ways, those who sustain burns because of this recklessness may have a premises liability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.

If you believe negligence caused your burns, Morgan & Morgan can help you fight to receive full and fair compensation. You may be entitled to receive both economic and non-economic damages.
