Florida Chemical Burn Attorneys

Chemical burns are often the result of a workplace accident or a defective or dangerous product. If your injury occurred at work, talk to an attorney before agreeing to any settlement. While workers’ compensation benefits don’t come with the burden to prove your employer’s fault, if your employer was negligent in causing your injury, it’s possible that you could receive greater compensation through a personal injury claim. You may also be able to bring claims against other parties.

Chemical cleaners, batteries, teeth-whitening products, and pool chlorination products are all common products at the root chemical burn claims. If any product gave you chemical burns, consider your eligibility for a products liability claim. If the chemical product was defective or did not include adequate warnings, you could receive compensation from the manufacturing company without having to prove negligence, through a cause of action for strict liability. It’s always worthwhile to explore your legal options with help from an attorney after a serious chemical burn injury.
