A Guide On Burn Injury Claims
A burn injury claim arises when you suffer harm due to another party’s negligence, and compensation covers losses such as medical costs, pain, and loss of earnings. Burn injury claims fall under personal injury claims, focusing specifically on damages caused by burns. Examples include burns from scalding liquids, fire, chemicals, or electrical sources.
Your claim depends on proving the responsible party owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, and caused your injury. Evidence like medical reports, witness statements, and accident records support this process.
Commonly, burn injury compensation addresses:
Treatment expenses and rehabilitation
Physical and emotional suffering
Impact on your ability to work or perform daily tasks
Solicitors from our panel specialise in assessing each case’s details to maximise your claim. Therefore, why not get in touch today to see if you can start a burn injury compensation claim?
When Could I Claim Compensation For A Burn Injury?
You may claim burn injury compensation if another party’s negligence caused or contributed to your injury. This applies when the responsible person or organisation breached their duty of care towards you. Examples include:
Faulty electrical equipment causing burns
Unsafe working environments leading to chemical burns
Accidents on poorly maintained premises
Your burn injury claim must show a direct link between that breach and your harm. Medical evidence confirming your injuries and witness statements often play a crucial role. Claims can cover physical pain, emotional distress, medical expenses, loss of earnings, and rehabilitation costs.

Examples Of Incidents That Lead To Burn Injury Compenstion Claims
Burn injury claims often arise from accidents where negligence causes harm. Common accident types include:
Scalds from hot liquids in domestic or commercial settings can cause first-degree burns (redness and pain), second-degree burns (blistering and swelling), or even third-degree burns (deep tissue damage) depending on the temperature and duration of exposure.
Chemical burns from improper handling or exposure to hazardous substances may result in anything from mild irritation (superficial burns) to severe tissue destruction (deep, third-degree burns), depending on the chemical’s strength and contact time.
Fires caused by negligence in premises management or product defects can lead to thermal burns, ranging from superficial first-degree burns to life-threatening third-degree burns that damage skin, muscles, and even bones.
Electrical burns due to defective equipment or poor maintenance often cause deep tissue injuries, including third-degree burns, as the electrical current travels through the body, potentially damaging internal organs as well as the skin.
Workplace incidents involving faulty machinery or insufficient safety measures may result in various types of burns, such as friction burns (from moving parts), thermal burns (from hot surfaces), or even electrical burns, depending on the nature of the machinery and the incident.
Each accident must show a breach of duty of care leading directly to your burn injury to qualify for compensation. Our panel of solicitors can help establish this link and assess your case viability.

Common Examples Of Burn Injuries
Burn injury claims cover a range of burns caused by different sources. Typical examples include:
Thermal burns from hot liquids, flames, or steam
Electrical burns caused by faulty wiring or exposed electrical equipment
Chemical burns resulting from contact with corrosive substances
Friction burns caused by skin rubbing against hard surfaces
Radiation burns due to prolonged exposure to UV light or medical radiation
Each type requires proving negligence or breach of duty causing the harm. These burn injuries often result in significant pain, scarring, and loss of function, warranting compensation.
A personal injury claim for burn injury compensation requires detailed medical evidence and clear links to the responsible party’s breach of care. Why not call today to see if you can start a burn injury claim?
What Does Compensation For A Burn Injury cover?
Compensation for a burn injury covers both financial losses and the wider impact on your life caused by the injury. You can claim for:
Medical expenses including hospital stays, surgeries, medications, and ongoing treatment.
Rehabilitation costs such as physiotherapy, counselling, and specialised care.
Loss of earnings if the injury prevents you from working temporarily or permanently.
Pain and suffering reflecting the physical and emotional distress caused.
Loss of amenity for limitations on your daily activities and lifestyle.
Future care needs if long-term assistance or equipment is necessary.
Compensation also covers expenses related to adapting your home or vehicle if mobility is affected. Claims arise under personal injury claim rules and often require evidence from medical experts demonstrating the burn’s severity and impact.

Time Limits For Burn Injuries Compensation Claims
Time limits restrict how long you have to make a burn injury compensation claim. The Limitation Act 1980 sets a three-year deadline from the date of the injury or from when you became aware of its effect. Missing this deadline usually prevents your claim from proceeding.
Exceptions apply if the injured person is under 18 or lacks mental capacity. In these situations, the three-year period begins when you or a legal representative can act. Acting quickly ensures critical evidence remains fresh and improves the chance of a successful claim.
If your burn injury resulted from negligence, timely action prevents losing compensation for losses such as medical expenses, pain, and loss of earnings.
What Types Of Evidence Can Help With Burn Injury Claims?
Evidence plays a crucial role in strengthening your burn injury claim. You need to prove that someone else’s negligence caused your injury, and this requires solid documentation. Key types of evidence include:
Medical records detailing the burn’s severity, treatment, and prognosis.
Photographs of the burn injury soon after it occurred.
Witness statements from people who saw the incident or its aftermath.
Accident reports such as workplace injury logs or incident records.
Expert assessments including medical expert opinions and reconstruction reports.
Receipts and invoices for medical expenses and rehabilitation costs.
Employment records to demonstrate loss of earnings due to the injury.
Gathering this evidence early helps establish the link between the breach of duty and your injury. For more specific advice on burn injury compensation and claims, why not call today to see if you can start a burn injury claim?
