Legal Question
Two weeks ago I purchased an oil heater from a big department store. The heater worked fine until this last Thursday(12-9-10) I had it turned on for about an hour and it exploded. The oil came spewing out and hit me all over the back of my legs and gave me 2nd degree burns. My daughter and a friend both received 1st degree burns on their legs. The firefighters reported that it was an error with the heater and that "wires were exposed". I am currently still in the hospital. Can I sue for pain and damages? Who can I sue, the department store or the vendor? Also, should I start the proccess of suing immediately or do I wait until I am out of the hospital.
