About Chemical Burns, Exposure and Injuries

Chemical burns are the result of hazardous substances coming into contact with the skin or eyes and are often caused by products such as bleach, ammonia, fertilizers, concrete mix, and cleaning products for swimming pools, toilets, and drains. If the exposure is minimal, the effects can be mild causing minor irritation to the surface of the skin, which can be easily treated and will leave no long-term damage. More prolonged contact however can penetrate much deeper and can leave permanent scarring and the need for skin grafts.

Burn injuries are categorised in one of three ways:

  • First degree burns are the mildest form of burn injury. They only affect the very surface of the skin and usually recover without the need for medical treatment unless a large area of the skin is affected.
  • Second-degree burns are more serious than first degree burns as the damage affects both the first and second layers of the skin. The damage can potentially cause pigment changes to the skin, often requiring a skin graft in the most serious of cases.
  • Third-degree burns are the most serious burn injuries, penetrating all layers of the skin and causing extensive nerve damage and other complications. All burns of this severity will require surgery to try and minimise scarring and avoid contracture or tightening of the skin.

Burn injuries can be particularly devastating and traumatic especially if they lead to permanent scarring. It is important that you get the right treatment and support to help you cope with what has happened so take swift, immediate advice from qualified legal professionals to ensure you achieve the best financial and care package possible.

About compensation claims for chemical burns

If you have been injured at work in the past three years, after coming into contact with any hazardous substances then it is possible that you are able to pursue a compensation claim.

At PSR Solicitors, we can offer you a free, no-obligation consultation to determine the circumstances surrounding your accident and to establish fault.

We can then give you an idea of your likelihood of success and how much you can expect to receive in compensation. The final amount will consider how serious your injuries are, the extent to which they impact on your life and any long-term or permanent affects such as scarring.

Your final pay-out is designed to recognise the harm and suffering that you have experienced through no fault of your own and will cover:

  • Private medical treatment including any surgery or skin grafts that you may require.
  • Counselling services to protect your mental well-being. The emotional toll of suffering a chemical injury should not be underestimated and appropriate therapies can help you come to terms with your accident and help you to move forward with your life.
  • Any loss of earnings while your undergo treatment and recovery.
  • Additional expenses that you have incurred as a result of your injury.

Your rights at work

Your employer is required by law to protect you against the risk of harm while carrying out your job and their obligations are detailed in the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974:

  • To provide a safe working environment
  • To carry out thorough risk assessments
  • To limit any risks
  • To provide safe equipment and protective clothing
  • To deliver adequate training
  • To provide information about any potential hazards including hazardous substances

Paul Rossiter

Managing Director

I am the Managing Director of PSR Solicitors. After working in various law firms, both small high street firms and a larger practice in Manchester, I saw a gap in the market for a high quality practice that had the same core high street values of being personable and approachable and combining them with the efficiency and professionalism of a larger practice.  PSR Solicitors was therefore established in 2009 in Shotton, Deeside with this aim. Since then PSR Solicitors has provided high quality legal services to local clients throughout North Wales and Cheshire.  

I live in Chester with my young family and 2 dogs and enjoy regular holidays along the coast of North Wales.

I have recently been asked to join the board of trustees at Platform For Life, a mental health counselling charity in Chester. Good mental health is the foundation of a more fulfilled, happy and healthy life, yet many families struggle to access the help and support they need to achieve it. Platform for Life offers free local counselling and play therapy for families who would otherwise not be able to afford it.

Mark House

Solicitor - Head of Litigation

I completed my law degree and legal practice course at Nottingham Law School, before qualifying as a solicitor in 2004. I then worked at a specialist personal injury firm in the East Midlands and a leading regional firm, before joining PSR in 2017.

With PSR I've continued to specialise in acting for Personal Injury claimants and have developed a keen understanding of the procedures and tactics involved in pursuing a claim, as well as the difficulties and concerns faced by people who have suffered as the result of an accident.

Since 2014 I've been proud to help hundreds of people. I've represented the public in all manner of injury claims, including serious orthopaedic injuries, brain damage, and psychological trauma. I was instructed to deal with claims for clients in the aftermath of the Potters Bar rail crash and the Penhallow hotel fire.

In addition, I represent clients in relation to all manner of disputes. I have dealt with professional negligence claims, such as those against solicitors and builders. I have helped clients recover money which is due to them and to dispute invoices which have been sent to them. I have helped business defend claims against them. I have tackled neighbour and boundary disputes.

I live locally to the Colwyn Bay office, and outside of work, I enjoy taking advantage of the coastal and mountain outdoor activities which are available on the doorstep. I'm also heavily involved with an outdoor pursuits charity, which I find an enjoyable and rewarding way of using my free time.
