Your employer has a duty of care to keep you safe from accidents in the workplace. This includes taking every precaution necessary to eliminate the threat of a burn or scald injury.
If the job you are required to do carries a risk of a burn or scald occurring, your employer should carry out detailed, ongoing risk assessments and take every reasonable measure to eliminate the risk. If the risk of a burn or scald occurring cannot be eliminated completely, employees should be provided with personal protective equipment and appropriate health and safety training.
Your employer will hold insurance to pay out for any burn or scald compensation claims. Even if you still work for your employer, you can make a claim. We will deal with all the correspondence on your behalf so you can maintain a professional relationship with the organisation that employs you.
If you have received a burn or scald at work, contact our team as soon as you are able. We will quickly establish whether you have a work injury compensation claim and provide you with all the information and advice you need to move forward.
You can be confident that when instructing us to manage your burn or scald compensation claim, our solicitors will act in a calm, professional manner; returning your phone calls and emails promptly and always keeping you up to date with how your case is progressing.

Many victims of burns and/or scalds are dealing with long-term pain and having to overcome the mental side-effects of suffering from a burn, such as depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). By instructing us, you can be confident that your compensation claim will be managed correctly, allowing you to concentrate on your recovery.
