Hot water heaters warm the water we use in our showers and baths.  If the water heater is defective, and fails to govern, stabilize, or regulate the water temperature, however, then bath time turns from children's play time to tragedy.

Burns from super-heated tap water can cause serious injuries, especially to children. This type of burn is called a scalding burn.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC: Tap Water Burns) that many hot water heaters can reach temperatures up to 150 degrees, well in excess of the human burn threshold.  Such temperatures, and even those well below 150 degrees, can cause third degree burns.

Most tap water burns occur in the tub or shower and most involve children or the disabled. It is estimated that over 4,000 children are burned in bathtubs and showers each year.

Burns and burn injuries and associated challenges are devastating conditions. Early intervention, adaptive lifestyle changes, education, therapy, and other involvements can certainly make life rewarding for the child afflicted with burn injuries.

Financial recovery for future medical bills, life care planning, special education needs, nutritional needs, interventional therapies, advanced treatment options, and the emotional toll and physical pain and suffering, may be available if negligence caused your child’s severe burns.

If you believe your child’s burn injuries were caused by a defective water heater, product defect, or the negligence of another, then contact our dedicated and caring personal injury lawyers for a case evaluation.
