That's awful, and yes, you might well have a case. Here's what you need to consider:
- Was your employer negligent? Could they have done more to prevent the burn – e.g., better safety gear, proper training, or fixing faulty equipment?
- The severity of your injury: Unfortunately, minor burns might not be enough, but significant pain, scarring, or loss of function could support a claim.
- Keeping records: Photos of your injury, medical notes, and witness statements (if possible) will help build a strong case.
