What Is a Burn Injury Claim?

A burn injury claim is a way to seek compensation if you’ve suffered a burn because of someone else’s negligence. This could be due to an accident at work, in a public place, or even from a faulty product.

When Can You Claim?

If your injury was caused by unsafe conditions, poor maintenance, or someone failing in their duty of care, you may have grounds to make a claim.

Common causes include:

  • Workplace accidents involving hot surfaces, chemicals, or machinery
  • Scalds in cafés or restaurants due to spills or faulty equipment
  • Burns from defective household appliances
  • Injuries in rental properties caused by unsafe electrics or heating

Burn injury claims can cover both physical harm and emotional distress, including pain, scarring, and psychological trauma.

How Much Compensation Could I Get?

  • Moderate to severe burns can result in awards from £10,000 to over £100,000

Frequently Asked Questions

To claim compensation for burn injury claims, you need to prove that your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence. This could be an employer, a business, or a property owner. A personal injury solicitor can help gather evidence, assess your case, and submit the claim on your behalf — usually on a “No Win, No Fee” basis.
Burn injury compensation can cover more than just the physical injury. You may be able to claim for medical treatment, rehabilitation, lost income, travel costs, ongoing care, and emotional distress such as anxiety or scarring.
The amount varies based on the severity of the burn, how it affects your daily life, and any long-term impact. Minor burns may result in a few thousand pounds, while serious or life-altering burns can lead to compensation of £100,000 or more.

Yes, in most cases, you have three years from the date of the injury — or from when you first realised it was linked to someone else’s negligence. There are exceptions for children and people lacking mental capacity.
