Spas are meant to be relaxing places to improve overall wellbeing, not a place to get hurt. However, spa accidents can occur due to employee negligence, product malfunction, miscommunication, etc. If you’ve been injured as the client of a spa, speaking to a personal injury attorney may be in your best interest.
Can You Sue for Burn Injuries?
If your burn was caused directly by the spa then yes, you can sue. The most common types of injuries that we can help with include allergic reactions, bacterial infections, violation of safety standards, chemical burns, cosmetic injuries/burns, laser burns, and scar injuries.
What is Your Claim Worth?
If your injury was caused because the spa was negligent in their responsibility to keep you safe during your appointment, you may be eligible for compensation. There are many factors that play a role in the value of your claim and your attorney will review your specific claim details with you to ensure you are getting the amount you deserve. Some factors that will be considered are the extent of your injury, the scope of non-economical damage (mental health, pain and suffering, etc.), the cost of actual damages (past and future medical expenses, loss of income, etc.), and punitive damages (additional damages in cases where extreme negligence is shown).
Steps to Take After a Spa Injury
First and foremost, prioritize your health and safety by seeking any medical attention needed for your injury. After, obtain names and contact information of those involved and take photos of the scene and your injuries. Next, inform the spa manager of your injury and make sure they are clear on the situation. Do not try and argue with them. Last, meet with an experienced attorney. Be very specific and honest with your facts when detailing the experience so that they can obtain the compensation you deserve!
