Seeking Justice for Heat Stroke Victims
Exertional heat stroke is a serious and life-threatening condition that can result in long-term health issues or even death. When heat stroke occurs due to someone else’s negligence—whether it’s an employer, coach, teacher, property owner, or caregiver—you have the right to seek compensation. At Aloia|Roland, our experienced personal injury attorneys are here to help you hold the responsible parties accountable and obtain the justice and compensation you deserve.
What is Heat Stroke?
Heat stroke happens when the body overheats and cannot regulate its temperature, often due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures or physical exertion in hot environments. If left untreated, heat stroke can cause severe damage to the brain, heart, liver, kidneys, and muscles, leading to long-term medical issues.
Symptoms of heat stroke include:
- High body temperature (above 103°F)
- Confusion or altered mental state
- Nausea or vomiting
- Rapid heartbeat
- Seizures
- Unconsciousness
Causes of Heat Stroke Due to Negligence
Heat stroke can be prevented with proper care and precautions. However, negligence often leads to dangerous conditions where heat stroke can occur. Common scenarios include:
Workplace Negligence: Employers are responsible for providing a safe working environment. If proper cooling measures, hydration breaks, or shaded areas are not provided in hot conditions, workers are at serious risk of heat stroke.
Negligent Supervision: Caregivers, camp counselors, or school personnel may be liable if they fail to adequately supervise children, athletes, the elderly, or vulnerable individuals in extreme heat.
Unsafe Premises: Property owners or event organizers who do not provide cooling zones, adequate shade, ventilation, or hydration in public spaces or events can be held responsible for heat stroke injuries.
Vehicle-Related Negligence: Leaving a person, especially a child or elderly individual, in a locked car on a hot day can result in severe heat stroke and is a form of negligence that can have deadly consequences.
