Burns - Personal Injuries from Fires, Explosions & Chemicals

Burn Injury Deadlines - Fire & Explosion Damage - Chemical Accidents:

The deadlines to file most burn accident claims arising out of a fire, explosion or chemical accident is generally the same as for most other torts (personal injuries) in the State of Hawaii. The deadline is generally two (2) years from the date of the injury. It should be noted, however, that there are a number of exceptions to this rule. For example, claims for minors can frequently be brought until a year or more after the child attains the age of majority. It is important to note that burn claims must be filed in court prior to the expiration of the applicable deadlines, or the claims are likely to be lost, regardless of their merit. To be wise, it is recommended that you immediately contact an attorney after a burn accident giving rise to injuries occurs - whether fire, explosion or chemical.

Burn injuries can be some of the most catastrophic and disheartening injuries resulting from accidents. Some burn accidents (fire, explosion or chemical) cause death or serious injury. Sometimes disfigurement is permanent and ongoing medical expenses go on forever. Thus, there is often a special importance involved in getting to bottom of an accident involving burns - whether from chemicals, an explosion or a fire.

Types of serious burn accidents which we handle include, but are not limited to:
- House, kitchen, apartment and area fires
- Fires ignited by defective products - often with poor wiring
- Propane stove and BBQ accidents
- Fires ignited by frayed, damaged or ungrounded wiring
- Fires or electrocutions initiated by sagging power lines or uninsulated transmission lines
- Chemical spill accidents
- Safety violations when handling flammable materials
- Fire alarm and smoke alarm failures
- Fabrics which do not comply with flame retardant requirements
- Trucking and air freight accidents involving chemical and flammable substances

Recovery from the effects of severe burns often involves a long stay in a dedicated burn center. One of the best in Hawaii is the Burn Center at Hawaii Pacific Health's Straub Medical Center. Much of the best treatment for burn injuries is done by qualified and trained plastic surgeons. Many plastic surgeons are members of ASPS - the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
