Not that I am aware of but you could go after the homeowner, unless that is you?
Re: Homesowners Claim
It is theoretically possible if the ins. co. should fail reasonably settle this claim within policy limits. It would have to be absolutely crystal clear to a reasonable person that your claim exceeds the policy limits. That might be possible for serious burns. But it is not likely that you would recover more than the policy limits. Insurance claims are very difficult. Insurance companies do not usually pay much attention to your claim until you get a lawyer and then they fight very hard to keep from paying.
