Who can be held liable in a personal injury lawsuit after a serious burn injury depends on the specific circumstances surrounding the injury victim's accident. For example:
Burn Injuries in Car Accidents
An Albuquerque burn injury lawyer can thoroughly investigate the cause of your car accident, and hold either the at-fault driver or company responsible for your personal injury claim.
Burns at Work
If you were burned while at work, our legal team can help you with filing a workers’ compensation claim. They will also explore the potential for a third-party lawsuit if your burns were caused by the negligence of another party other than your employer or co-workers.
Burns from Dangerous Products
When a dangerous or defective product is responsible for your burn injury, you may have a product liability claim. A burn injury lawyer can identify all liable parties, which may include the product’s manufacturer, the distributor, the retailer, and any other entity involved in the chain of distribution.
Burns While on Someone Else’s Property
If your burn injury accident occurred due to unsafe conditions on someone else’s property, an attorney can help you pursue a premises liability claim against the property owner or manager.
Whatever the cause of the injury, burn victims can seek damages from the party legally liable, or responsible, for causing it in an injury case. A person or entity might be legally responsible if you can prove their negligence directly or indirectly resulted in your harm. Our experienced Albuquerque personal injury lawyers will work with the insurance company of the negligent party to make sure you receive fair compensation for your damages.
