Actionable burn injuries may come from any number of sources, including explosions, hot liquids, flames, steam, electrical currents, radiation, and strong chemicals, such as paint thinner or gasoline.

Burns may also come from sources like homes, restaurants hotels, and defective products.

Our firm has also seen a number of clients suffering from burns caused by cosmetic laser treatments intended to improve the appearance of one’s skin.

Sometimes, burns effecting a large population result from corporate negligence: The most recent example everyone is aware of in the Bay Area, is the tragic San Bruno pipeline explosion in 2010, that was caused by the recklessness of the utility company, PG&E.
