Can You Pursue a Claim for Hot Water Heater Malfunctions and Negligent Maintenance?
It takes less than 30 seconds for an adult who is exposed to 130-degree water to suffer a second-degree burn. Exposure of more than 30 seconds can result in third-degree burns. These exposure times are even shorter for children and infants. When maintenance personnel at apartment buildings or hotels set the water temperature too high or the water heating unit malfunctions to create water that is hot to the point of being dangerous, burn victims can hold the property owners and operators accountable for their injuries. Our Texas attorneys have experience with claims involving these types of burns and can help you pursue compensation.
Experienced Chemical Burn Injury Attorneys
Our lawyers also represent clients who suffer burn injuries that result from chemical exposure throughout Texas. Chemical spills that result from truck rollovers or train derailments, factory explosions, and other causes can result in people as far as a mile away being exposed to harsh chemicals that may burn the skin, eyes, and lungs. In some cases, injuries to the eyes and lungs can lead to impaired sight and breathing capacity. We fight for full compensation that accommodates all of your current and future needs.
