David Healey, a specialist Burn and Scald Compensation Claim Solicitor with Carter & Carter Solicitors, said:

“Our client was visiting his local Vet when he went to the water dispenser to get a cold drink.  Unknown to him it contained boiling water which scalded him.  The hot water left him with a terrible burn.  Our client approached other Solicitors but they refused to take his case on because they didn’t think they would win.  His mother called me and we agreed to take the case because we knew it was strong and that we could help him to recover compensation by making a Burn and Scald Compensation Claim under the Occupiers’ Liability Act.

Under the Act, Property owners have a duty to keep visitors safe whilst they are on their Premises be that at a restaurant, shop, cinema or even a friend’s house.  If they don’t keep you safe and you are injured you could be entitled to make a Burn and Scald Compensation Claim”

Liability/Blame for the Burn and Scald Compensation Claim

“The local Vet failed to make sure that my client was “reasonably” safe.  They failed to:

• Warn any customers (including our client) that the water dispensed was boiling hot and not cold;
• Turn off the hot water when they knew young children went to the Vets with their parents;
• Comply with their common duty of care to see that our client was safe at their Premises and especially when he was using the water dispenser.”

Conclusion

“Our client suffered serious burns as a result of this avoidable accident and was left with no option but to contact a Solicitor to make a Burn and Scald Compensation Claim.  We proved that the Vet failed to keep our client safe and successfully secured compensation for him despite other Solicitors refusing to take his claim on.”
