Many burn accidents happen at work. Depending upon what kind of job you have, you could be exposed to an additional risk of burns. For example, some jobs have risks of chemical burns and electrical burns. Also, there are risks of explosions in many types of jobs involving gasoline, kerosene, and oil.
Suppose the negligent act was done by a third party and not your employer or a co-employee. In that case, the third-party defendant could ultimately be held responsible for compensation above and beyond workers’ comp benefits.
