Burn Injuries Caused by Defective Products

Many consumer products have strict laws regarding product testing and flammability. However, some companies or manufacturers will navigate around regulations and will put consumers at risk in the process. The most common consumer products that lead to burn injuries include but are not limited to mattresses, heaters, electric blankets, kitchen appliances, cleaning chemicals, and flammable clothing. Vaping devices, e-cigarettes, battery-powered products, and camping equipment are also major causes of burn injuries.

You may be eligible for compensation if you have suffered a burn injury due to any of the products mentioned above. For more information, please reach out to our defective product attorneys today.

When an injury occurs, you need to know who is liable for your damages. In burn injury cases involving product liability, most commonly, those responsible for your damages include but are not limited to the manufacturer, the distribution chain, or the individuals behind the product's actual design. However, every case is unique, and hiring an attorney can help determine who is liable. 

The amount received in compensation may vary from case to case. However, oftentimes, victims will see a return of compensation for medical bills, loss of consortium, emotional distress, pain and suffering, lost wages, and punitive damages. For more information on how much compensation you may be eligible to receive for your injuries, we highly recommend you speak to an attorney. 

An experienced attorney can help ensure that you get the compensation you deserve. For over 35 years here at Morgan & Morgan, it has been our mission to help victims like you get the justice they deserve for their injuries. Hiring one of our attorneys will significantly boost your chances of receiving the compensation you need. Once our attorney gets your case, they will hit the ground running. After reviewing your initial case information, they will gather and review any relevant documentation to help your case. Documentation includes but is not limited to medical records or bills, insurance policies, police reports, etc.

Your attorney will also work with medical professionals and other experts to establish a solid claim. At this point, your attorney will also notify the defendant's legal team that your case is now represented by Morgan & Morgan. Your legal team will also reach out to the defendant's legal team to try for negotiations to settle your case outside of court. However, if your case negotiations prove unsuccessful, your attorney is more than prepared to represent you inside of the courtroom.

The simple answer is yes, you can. At Morgan & Morgan, our attorneys operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning you only pay if we win your case. Our fees come in the form of a percentage of the settlement or verdict amount we obtain, never out of your pockets.
