Burn Injuries from Turkey Fryers & Holiday Cooking: What Victims Need to Know

Thanksgiving meals often involve deep-frying turkeys, crowded kitchens, and hot ovens. After the holiday, many Floridians suffer burn injuries from cooking accidents or defective products.

Common Causes of Post-Thanksgiving Burn Injuries

  • Grease fires
  • Unsafe turkey fryer setups
  • Hot oil spills
  • Faulty appliances
  • Overloaded kitchen outlets
  • Boiling water accidents
  • Children touching hot surfaces

Many of these injuries occur during cleanup or reheating leftovers.

When Is Someone Else Legally Responsible?

Liability may fall on:

  • The homeowner (unsafe conditions)
  • A product manufacturer (defective fryer or appliance)
  • A guest who caused the hazard
  • A landlord who failed to maintain electrical safety

Under Florida law, burn injury victims can pursue compensation if negligence played a role.

Types of Compensation Available

  • ER bills
  • Pain management
  • Scarring treatment
  • Lost wages
  • Trauma counseling

Burns often require long-term medical care.
