How do I prove liability for my burn accident or incident?

To prove who is liable (legally responsible) for your Charleston burn injury, you must show:

• The at-fault party had a duty to exercise care in a given circumstance to avoid injuring others. For example, drivers owe a duty to others on the roadway to drive safely and legally. The duty owed by the owner of a commercial, public, or residential property is to regularly inspect the property to detect and promptly mitigate hazards.
• The at-fault party breached the duty of care by taking actions that a reasonable person would not.
• The breach of the duty of care resulted in an accident in which you sustained a burn injury.
