How Does a Laser Hair Removal Burn Occur?

The laser hair removal process utilizes heat, generated by streams of invisible laser light, to destroy the hair follicle. When the procedure is performed properly, it provides a beneficial result. But, in an increasing number of incidents, the process does not go as planned.

Consequently, throughout the United States, lawsuits arising from laser hair removal injuries are filed on behalf of victims severely injured due to negligence and errors by practitioners who perform the treatment. Harvard research (2013) found that the largest number of laser hair removal lawsuits were filed in California, followed by Texas and New York, during years studied.

What is a Laser Hair Removal Burn Like?

Severe burns on the upper lip, eyebrow, hairline, neck, ear area, chin, chest, shoulder, back, leg, hand, foot, or other areas of the body can result from negligence or errors by practitioners of laser hair removal. This is perhaps the most common laser hair removal injury. Depending upon the degree of burns, deep scarring may result in some cases, which may lead to emotional trauma and depression.

What Should You Do if You Have a Laser Hair Removal Burn Injury?

If you have suffered a skin burn after laser hair removal, you must take action to hold the guilty party or parties accountable. You need a California personal injury lawyer to guide you through the legal process of a laser hair removal burn lawsuit. You need to act quickly so that your claim can be filed with the civil court before the statute of limitations expires.

California Laser Hair Removal Burn Laws

Various parties may be found liable in the California civil court in a case of a victim who has suffered laser hair removal burns as a consequence of carelessness or negligence. There are several forms of negligence, including:

  • Duty — California Civil Code § 1714(a) stipulates that people have a duty to any person who may be endangered by her/his actions.
  • Breach — A person injured must also sufficiently show that the defendant committed a breach of his/her duty. The court considers the defendant’s actions in making a judgment.
  • Causation — The plaintiff in a personal injury case also must prove that the breach of duty did cause the injury and that the injury would not have happened if the defendant had not done the action(s) in question. Or, in particular cases, the plaintiff must sufficiently show that, in a reasonable person’s view, the incident contributed significantly to the plaintiff’s suffering.

Other types of personal injury cases that the California civil court allows are cases involving product liability or mechanical failure.

What Kind of Compensation is Possible for Laser Hair Removal Burn Victims?

If you are injured during laser hair removal treatment, due to negligence or errors of another person, you should be aware that California law permits people who sustain personal injuries under such circumstances to seek compensation. Your compensation may include:

  • Medical treatment — including hospital visits
  • Doctor’s treatment — in the doctor’s office or in the hospital
  • Pain and suffering — compensation for physical or/and mental pain and suffering due to an injury caused by another person
  • Lost wages and lost future earnings — If you cannot work, as a result of your injury, the California civil court may determine that you are entitled to compensation for the money you would have earned and for projected future earnings.
  • Punitive Damages — compensation for the purpose of punishing the guilty party, if applicable
