Can I sue if a defective product caused the burn injury?

Absolutely. Georgia’s products liability statute (O.C.G.A. § 51-1-11) allows burn victims to pursue claims against the manufacturer, distributor, and seller of a defective product. This includes defective appliances, vehicles with faulty fuel systems, lithium-ion batteries, chemical products without proper warnings, and many other consumer and industrial products. These are often strong cases because strict liability — not just negligence — may apply.
