Burn Injuries

Burn injuries are some of the worst injuries. When you get burnt through no fault of your own, it not only impacts you physically, but also mentally and psychologically. Depending on the severity of the burn, it could have a lasting impact on your life.

We have seen these injuries happen in a variety of contexts. The injuries can come about as a result of an explosion, or coffee being negligently poured on you. It’s important to note what negligence means in the legal context. According to the CACI (California Jury Instructions), these are the instructions the court uses to instruct jurors on the law, negligence is defined as:

Negligence is the failure to use reasonable care to prevent harm to oneself or to others.

A person can be negligence by acting or by failing to act. A person is negligence is he or she does something that a reasonably careful person would not do in the same situation or fails to do something that a reasonably careful person would do in the same situation.
