Fire & Explosion Injuries

A landlord who doesn’t follow fire-safety rules. A store, restaurant or hotel that isn’t up to code. A defective product that ironically may have been designed to protect you. These are just a few of the examples of negligent sources that might cause life-altering burn or fire injuries. Negligible parties should be held accountable. Unfortunately, however, many burn victims who try to seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other losses, end up battling insurance adjusters, landlords and lawyers who try to minimize the severity of the injury and the claim.

There are plenty of workplace hazards, and, depending on your job, burn injuries may even be commonplace.  Refineries, chemical plants and construction sites are just a few of the locations replete with burn and fire injures. Employees who suffer from a burn injury not only face physical pain but also are forced to figure out a complicated workplace system designed to limit payouts and benefits. Suddenly an accident that was not your fault is now forcing you to make decisions about complicated issues you know nothing about that will affect your future. If you file workers compensation, which may provide wage replacement and medical benefits, you then forfeit your right to sue your employer for pain and suffering, loss of life, disfigurement and other damages often accompanying a burn injury.

Even though surrounded by water, fire is the greatest concern on an oil rig.  A single spark can cause a fire or explosion, harming the employees on it, and sometimes even sinking the rig.  When oil platform explosions happen, employees endure catastrophic injuries, including burns.  Additionally, victims are forced to confront big oil companies that have endless means and extensive legal teams.
