According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, infants and young children are at an especially high risk of scalding injuries. Their delicate skin is more easily injured at lower temperatures than that of adults, and they often don’t understand the dangers of hot baths or bubbling pans on a stove top, making them more likely to injure themselves while exploring.
You can help prevent scalding burns in children and adults with these tips:
- Decrease the temperature on your water heater to 120 degrees or less, so that water coming from the faucets isn’t scalding hot.
- Always test the bath or shower water before getting in or allowing your child to get in.
- Teach children not to play with the faucets while taking a bath or shower.
- Use cool-mist humidifiers around children, not hot-steam ones.
- Turn the handles of pans toward the back of the stove.
- Teach children not to play near the stove or reach for items on top of it.
If a defective product or an accident has caused a scalding burn, you may have the legal right to seek compensation. Speak to an experienced Louisville burn injury lawyer to learn more about your legal rights and options.

I worked with Kevin Weiss on my assault case. Kevin was responsive and professional the entire time. Taking time to answer my questions and research the best way to handle my case and how we should approach it best. I strongly recommend Kevin and Thomas Law Offices.

Lindsy Lopez – RecommendationI have decades of experience working in insurance; however, after being injured in an auto accident, I quickly realized I needed help to sort through the legal, medical, and financial confusion. After researching the attorneys and law firms in my area, I reached out to Lindsy Lopez because of her academic and professional experience. I was also impressed with her community education and advocacy and that of the Thomas Law firm with whom she is associated. Lindsy is easy to talk to, a good listener, explained the law in straightforward language, and outlined the steps we needed to take. Questions and communication were encouraged, and the response from Lindsy was prompt and spot-on. She informed, supported, and guided me through an almost two-year process to a successful outcome. I wholeheartedly recommend Lindsy Lopez if you find yourself in need of a hardworking and committed advocate.

I am extremely happy that I had Kevin Weis represent me. He did a wonderful job with my case and always had my best interest at heart. He is honest, hard working, punctual, and driven to do his very best for you. You can’t go wrong choosing Thomas Law Offices and if I know anyone that needs representation I would recommend Kevin Weis.

I couldn't have made a better choice than Kevin Weis! He is an outstanding personal injury lawyer. Kevin is responsive, professional and easy to work with. He kept me informed every step of the way and went out of his way to make sure I understood what was happening with my case. He is very knowledgeable and I found his advice to be solid and fair. My case was challenging and through it all Kevin was honest, direct, and believed in me. I was very satisfied with the outcome.

The Thomas Law Offices did a WONDERFUL job helping me with an injury; specifically Kevin. He was 100% on top of things- I barely had to do any leg work which was a breath of fresh air. In addition, Kevin always made sure I felt like a priority. Professional, prompt, and caring are just a few of the MANY great things I could mention. Without a doubt I would recommend Thomas Law Offices to my friends and family.Thank you Kevin and everyone at the office!Merry Christmas!

When I was hit by a tractor trailer this year I had no idea how to navigate the mess of insurance adjusters, medical bills, claims, and the loss I had in missing work. It was a scary and vulnerable time to realize I just lost my means to work and the ability to provide for my family. Kevin Weis guided me through the confusing process and kept me informed in a way I could understand. His knowledge of the in and outs of personal injury claims was so extensive he actually made the whole process quite simple for me. Now, months later, I am very happy with our end result and feel that I have been made completely whole from the accident. He went above and beyond to make sure I received everything I owed for medical care, wage loss, and pain and suffering. In the future I will send all my family’s legal business to him and recommend him highly to anyone who needs a knowledgeable attorney to fight for them when they feel the hurt and loss of an accident.

I’m so thankful to have found Lindsay Cordes and the Thomas Law firm. Ms. Cordes is thorough, empathetic, and the best advocate I could’ve hoped for for my Title IX case. She went above and beyond my expectations, and it’s clear she is passionate about her clients.

Wonderful team that helped so much after my auto accident. My case was a little more complicated since it involved my work but they were so helpful in explaining the process and making sure everything was addressed with all parties involved. I would have been lost trying to deal with it on my own.

We initially hired an attorney in FL where we live but since the accident happened in KY, our FL attorney referred us to the Thomas Law Firm and I'm so glad they did. The experience was wonderful, they were very responsive to all our calls and emails and Lindsy has always advised us openly about our options. The case was rather unique and complicated but they were able to get us a great settlement as they fought very hard for us. They even got us additional benefits in addition to the settlement with the insurance company. I highly recommend them and wouldn't look further.

The hard work and dedication from Lindsay Cordes, Tad Thomas, and the entire team was able to receive a settlement in my TITLE IX LAWSUIT. (Caps lock for emphasis, trust me, it's needed.)Lindsay and Tad were the fiercest of legal defense as we fought stiff odds, the kindest of spirits as I cried from recounting trauma, the most reliable of sources when I found myself lost in legality, and the most effective of lawyers for winning this case! Title IX is a volatile field and campus rape a traumatic matter. Lindsay, Tad, and Thomas Law Offices navigated this battlefield of an issue with the utmost kindness, tenacity, compassion, reliability, and genuine investment in me not as a client, but as a person. I wouldn't wish anything less for your legal needs!

Thomas Law Office was exceptional in handing my daughters car accident. They went above and beyond working with all the medical bills to get them lowered and with the insurance company to get us the best possible settlement w/o having to file suit. They were quick to always answering emails and phone calls. They even helped with answering questions we had with other issues that didn't involve our current case. They were great to work with. I highly recommend them and their services.

Tad and his team where an absolute blessing in my time of need and I could not have done it without them. Any questions I had where always answered in a timely manner and they worked diligently to get me everything I deserved and that takes time so don't expect anything to happen overnight. Thank you Tad and team! Especially Roxanne, I know you pulled for me a lot!
