At De Caro & Kaplen LLP our personal injury attorneys have experience and knowledge in representing victims who have suffered serious burn injuries due to negligence, unsafe products, or caregiver misconduct. Below are examples of cases we’ve successfully litigated, highlighting our experience, investigative diligence, and commitment to securing maximum compensation for burn injury victims.
Our client, a woman in her early 20s, suffered devastating burns while in the safety of her own kitchen. As she bent over a stovetop to pick up a tea kettle, the cotton nightgown she was wearing — ordinary sleepwear — suddenly caught fire. The flames engulfed her chest and upper body, causing life-altering third-degree burns, permanent scaring, and disfigurement.
Our client, a 28-year-old man, suffered catastrophic burn injuries when a lithium-ion battery in his e-cigarette exploded in his pocket without warning. The explosion caused severe second- and third-degree burns to his leg and thigh. He endured excruciating pain, permanent scarring, and required extensive medical care, including skin grafts and reconstructive surgery.
Our client, an elderly and infirm man requiring daily assistance from a home care attendant, suffered life-altering burn injuries during what should have been a routine bath. The attendant negligently left him unattended in the bathtub with hot water running, causing the water temperature to rise to scalding levels. Despite clear danger signs, the attendant ignored the situation, leaving our client in the tub for an extended period.
Our clients suffered severe burn injuries when a water heater exploded in the basement of their home. The explosion was caused by dangerous gas buildup because of improper installation. The water heater had been installed directly on the basement floor rather than raised on a platform, as required by both industry safety standards and the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
Burn injuries are among the most painful and traumatic injuries a person can endure. Whether caused by defective products, negligent caregivers, or improper installations, we hold those responsible accountable.
