Burn Injury Claims England

Understanding Burn Injuries in the Workplace

 Burn injuries in the workplace can be severe and life-altering, impacting both physical health and emotional well-being. Whether caused by hot surfaces, chemicals, steam, or electrical faults, burns can lead to long-term pain, scarring, and even disability. If your injury resulted from employer negligence, you have the right to pursue compensation.


At Callisto Claims, we specialize in workplace injury claims, ensuring that employees receive the justice and financial support they deserve. In this guide, we will explain your rights, the claims process, and how we can assist you in securing compensation for your burn injury.

Claiming Against a Colleague’s Negligence

 

If a colleague’s actions caused your burn injury, you still have the right to claim against your employer rather than the individual. This is due to vicarious liability, a legal principle that holds employers responsible for the actions of their employees while they are at work.


For a successful claim, it must be proven that your colleague acted negligently in the course of their job, rather than outside of their work duties.

Employer’s Legal Duty to Prevent Burn Injuries

 

Employers are legally required to maintain a safe working environment. Health and safety regulations exist to prevent workplace accidents, including burn injuries. Under UK law, the following employer obligations must be met:


  • Provide Adequate Training – Employees should receive safety training tailored to their job roles.
  • Supply Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) – Employers must provide necessary gear such as gloves, heat-resistant clothing, and face shields.
  • Maintain Equipment and Workspaces – Regular inspections and maintenance should be conducted to ensure workplace safety.
  • Implement Safety Measures – Safe work procedures and emergency protocols must be in place to prevent accidents.


If your employer has failed in these responsibilities, resulting in your burn injury, you may have grounds for an injury claim.

Causes of Burn Injuries in the Workplace

 Workplace burn injuries can result from various hazards, depending on the industry. Common causes include: 

Thermal Burns

Caused by exposure to open flames, hot surfaces, boiling liquids, or steam. 

Chemical Burns

Result from exposure to hazardous substances, such as acids, alkalis, and solvents. 

Electrical Burns

Occur when a worker comes into contact with live electrical wires or faulty equipment. 

Radiation Burns

Found in industries using radiation exposure, such as X-ray technicians and laboratory workers. 

Friction Burns

 Result from skin scraping against rough surfaces, often seen in industrial work. 

No Win, No Fee Burn Injury Claims

 At Callisto Claims, we operate on a no win, no fee basis, meaning you won’t have to worry about upfront legal fees. If your claim is unsuccessful, you won’t owe us anything. This allows you to pursue compensation with peace of mind, knowing that our team is dedicated to fighting for your rights.


Our team will handle all aspects of your claim, from gathering evidence to negotiating with insurers, ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve.

Claiming Compensation for Burn Injuries

 

If you have suffered a burn injury at work due to employer negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. The claim process generally involves:


1. Establishing Liability


To achieve success in a personal injury claim, it is essential to prove that your employer acted negligently, leading to your injury. This may involve demonstrating:


  • Failure to provide proper training
  • Inadequate safety measures
  • Lack of necessary protective equipment


2. Assessing the Severity of Injuries


The compensation amount depends on the severity of the burn, its long-term impact, and the treatment required. Burns are classified into three categories:


  • First-degree burns – Superficial burns affecting only the outer layer of skin.
  • Second-degree burns – Deeper burns that may cause blistering and require medical treatment.
  • Third-degree burns – Severe burns that can damage muscles, nerves, and bones, often requiring surgery or skin grafts.


3. Determining Compensation Amount


Compensation for burn injuries includes:


  • Medical Costs – Hospital bills, prescriptions, and ongoing rehabilitation.
  • Loss of Earnings – Compensation for missed work and potential future loss of income.
  • Pain and Suffering – Payment for the physical and emotional distress caused by the injury.
  • Home Modifications – If your injury requires adaptations to your home, such as wheelchair accessibility.
  • Travel Expenses – Costs associated with traveling for medical treatment.
  • Care and Assistance – If you require professional or family care due to your injuries.
