New Jersey Lawyer:
Electrocutions, Explosions, and Burn Injuries
Burn injuries are tragic under any circumstance. Whether the injuries are the result of a fire from a poorly designed vehicle, electrocution from faulty wiring or a gas line explosion, another party’s negligence brings added emotional stress to the injured person.
Recovering from a burn injury involves lengthy, extremely painful treatments. For years after the initial injury has healed, the patient may have to undergo reconstructive surgeries. Ultimately, the injury may result in disfigurement and scars that have a devastating psychological impact.
If a member of your family has suffered a burn injury as a result an explosion or fire, it is important that you investigate all sources of compensation for your loss.

Depending on the circumstances surrounding the accident, you may be entitled to a number of claims and lawsuits for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and distress, and scarring and disfigurement:
- If the injury was caused by defective equipment or inadequate warning on a product such as a generator, gas stove, furnace, or automobile, you may have a product liability claim.
- If the fire involved a car accident, several auto insurance companies and your health insurance may be responsible for your medical expenses.
- If you were injured on the job, you are eligible for workers' compensation benefits.
- If you were injured in an electrical accident on a construction site, you may have a premises liability claim in addition to workers' compensation.
- Carbon monoxide poisoning due to inadequate venting may entitle survivors to damages from the manufacturer or installer of the furnace for wrongful death.
