Chicago Contact Burns Attorneys
Contact burns are a sub-type of thermal burns, or burns caused by heat. They occur when the skin touches an extremely hot surface. This is a very common type of injury, despite the fact that it is usually quite easy to prevent. Many contact burns are caused by faulty products and other kinds of negligent behavior.
If you have suffered from a contact burn that could have been avoided with a little care, you may have grounds for a personal injury lawsuit. Chicago contact burn lawyers Friedman & Bonebrake, P.C., can provide further information about your best legal options. Call our offices today at 312-466-8200.
Causes of Contact Burns
As you can imagine, there are many different ways to suffer a contact burn. Some of them are caused by conditions that could not have been reasonably predicted or avoided. Many of them, however, are the result of careless behavior. Call a Chicago contact burn lawyer if you have been hurt by:
- Product defects: This can include a poor design that causes a product overheat, a lack of clear instructions accompanying a dangerous product, and soldering tools with malfunctioning safety equipment.
- Reckless behavior: A person who is careless while cooking, smoking, using soldering tools, or using any other heated product can cause serious injuries to bystanders.
- Abuse: In some tragic cases, contact burns are inflicted intentionally. Cigarettes, irons, and other household products are the most common causes of deliberate contact burns.
Contact burns are very painful and carry a high risk of infection. If you have suffered from one of these injuries due to someone else's mistake or malicious behavior, you do not have to face the consequences alone. You can seek legal help and potentially win compensation for medical bills, lost work, and your pain and suffering.
