Establishing Liability
Burn injury cases require identifying the source of the fire, explosion, or chemical exposure and determining who was responsible for preventing it. Product manufacturers can be liable for defective designs that create fire hazards, while employers and property owners can be liable for failing to maintain safe conditions. The severity of burn injuries and the extensive treatment required make these cases high value claims that demand thorough investigation and expert support.
Relevant Texas Law
Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code allows recovery of all medical expenses including the multiple surgeries, skin grafts, and years of scar revision treatment that burn victims typically require. Product liability claims for defective products causing burns are governed by Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 82. When employer negligence causes workplace burns, injured workers may pursue third party claims in addition to workers compensation benefits under Texas Labor Code Chapter 417.
