The Danger of Hair Catching on Fire due to Candles
Most people don’t really pay any mind to candles in public areas, like restaurants, bars, lounges, etc. Unfortunately, candles in these places can quickly lead to horrible situations – specifically when hair comes into contact with the flame. Hair is flammable. It has a low burning temperature, which makes it very flammable. It can be compared to paper in terms of flammability. When hair catches fire, victims are likely to sustain burn injuries (on the shoulders, neck, face, scalp, etc.) These burn injuries can range in severity (but are typically second-degree and third-degree burns). If you or a loved one sustained burn injuries after hair caught fire at a restaurant, bar, or lounge, then it is essential that you seek legal assistance as soon as possible as you could have grounds to file a lawsuit.

My Hair Caught Fire – Who is Liable?
If you or a loved one suffered burn injuries after hair caught on fire due to candles nearby, you might have questions about liability. Who is liable for my burn injuries after my hair caught fire at a restaurant? It doesn’t matter whether your hair caught on fire at a restaurant, a bar, a nightclub, or a lounge – the property owner could be liable.
Liability is based on premise liability, in which property owners have a duty to ensure that their entire premises are completely safe for their guests. They must routinely inspect their premises to be able to identify and address any hazards present, including any hazards presented by candles that are unsafely placed. When property owners fail to identify and address hazards, then they can be liable for all resulting injuries, including burn injuries.
