Legal Question in Personal Injury in Pennsylvania
Burnt by ceramic heater
I fell asleep in front of a ceramic heater that was 3 feet away from me. My legs and arm received 2nd degree burns. I did see and was treated by my dr. I have another ceramic heater that I use at work and I have my legs practically on top of it and it doesn't burn me. Do I have a case?

Re: Burnt by ceramic heater
The determination whether you can recover damages, both economic and non-economic (pain and suffering) depends on several factors. Such factors would include whether the product was faulty and whether the manufacturer provided any warnings regarding an unsafe condition. You should consult with an attorney who can review more fully the circumstances surrounding your injury and advise accordingly.
