If your burn injuries occurred at work, your first option is to file a workers’ compensation claim. However, there are situations when you can sue your employer or the responsible party. If a third-party subcontractor or equipment manufacturer caused your injuries, you may be able to sue. Your employer could be responsible if they ignored workplace safety laws or failed to provide proper ventilation and PPE. Manufacturers can be held liable for distributing toxic substances that cause chemical burns. An attorney can determine who is responsible for your injuries and hold them accountable.
