2-year-old Cole Ryder burned in house fire

 

On December 13, 2008 2-year-old Cole Ryder suffered serious burn injuries to his upper body in a house fire. The accident occurred at approximately 9:22 A.M. in a home at the 900 block of Park Drive in Hillsboro, TX. According to investigators the suspected cause of the fire is a space heater that appears to have malfunctioned. Officials also state that infant Cole, his mother, and two additional siblings were sitting near the heater in the front part of their house when the accident occurred.

Rescue workers took the child by ambulance to a parking lot where a helicopter could land to transport the child to Parkland Hospital Burn Center in Dallas, TX.

A note from Texas personal injury attorney E. Michael Grossman:

This is a very sad example of a type of accident that happens far too often. If the investigator's statement is accurate and the house fire was, in fact, caused by a defective space heater the parents of this child would have a cause of action to pursue a products liability case against the manufacturer of the space heater. Again, if the allegations are accurate then the manufacturer of that device could be held liable for any damages that Cole and his family have suffered including compensation for medical expenses, compensation for pain and suffering, compensation for physical impairment, compensation for disfigurement, compensation for mental anguish, etc.

At this point I am sure that Cole's parents only concerns are his well being and when you are dealing with such evere injuries to such a young child those concerns will likely occupy most of their time. In the future they will likely be forced to focus on the very high financial burden that such an accident can produce and a good attorney will be able to help them get the compensation that their family deserves.

I hope that Cole makes a speedy recovery and I wish his family all the best.
