Pressure cookers are kitchen appliances that have been popular since the post-WWII era. While pressure cookers are commonly found in kitchens throughout the country, pressure cookers can be very dangerous. Pressure cookers cook food by trapping steam in an enclosed space, resulting in extremely high temperatures inside the cooker. This can, and has, led to explosions, when the cooker is defective or lacks the appropriate safety or pressure release mechanisms. When explosions occur, serious burns and other injuries can result. If you have suffered a burn injury in a pressure cooker explosion, you may be able to recover fair compensation by filing a personal injury claim.

How to Calculate the Compensation You Are Owed After a Pressure Cooker Explosion
Few expect that a pressure cooker will explode and cause serious injuries. Unfortunately, these explosions are more common than one would think, and it is important that victims understand their rights and how to recover the compensation they are owed.
If you were harmed due to a pressure cooker explosion, you should not have to pay out-of-pocket for the losses you have suffered if the harm was the result of another party’s negligence. That is why it is important to file a pressure cooker explosion burn injury claim. When you file a claim with the help of a personal injury lawyer, you can pursue the fair compensation you will need to cover your losses.
When reviewing your pressure cooker explosion case, an experienced lawyer will help you determine what damages you may be eligible to collect and how much you may be able to recover in compensation. The damages you may be eligible to recover include the following:
Medical Expenses
When a pressure cooker explodes and causes a burn injury, victims are often left with a long road to recovery. Victims should be awarded damages for any bills and expenses incurred due to the necessary medical care needed to recover from the burn injuries they have suffered due to the explosion.
Property Damage
Pressure cooker explosions often result in damaging fires that can cause extensive property damage. Victims should be compensated for the cost to repair or replace the items.
Lost Wages
Victims who have suffered a burn due to a pressure cooker explosion may be unable to work while they recover. In some cases, if they have suffered permanent damage, they may never be able to return to their previous duties. In these cases, victims should be compensated for the present and future wages they may lose out on as a result.
Pain and Suffering
After a victim has suffered a burn injury from a pressure cooker explosion, they should be compensated for the pain and suffering they have endured due to the negligent party’s actions.
Your lawyer can review your case and help you calculate how much you may be eligible to recover in fair compensation for your pressure cooker explosion case. Additionally, your personal injury lawyer will assist you by negotiating with the insurance company to ensure you get the fair settlement you deserve to cover the full extent of your losses.
