Manchester, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/21/2015 -- Recent reports have highlighted a rise in personal injury claims related to incidents in tanning salons. The news comes at the end of the summer months and moving towards autumn – when many people seek to top-up their holiday tan using sunbeds and related equipment. However, an increase in injury claims has occurred, especially relating to people being badly burned. A number of solicitors are reporting a rising number of out-of-court settlements to people who have been injured by tanning salon equipment.
A tanning salon is an example of an environment where although equipment is potentially dangerous, if it is used appropriately, according to health and safety regulations, then users should be at minimal risk. The staff and employer at the Salon, if fulfilling their responsibilities, should ensure that sunbed users have the right guidance and equipment before using a sunbed. Therefore, when circumstances arise that a user is burned or injured because they have been improperly instructed – this is not their fault – and they may be eligible to claim.

"That a rising number of people are submitting claims for sunbed burns and injuries suggests that there is a problem which much be addressed. That some salons are using faulty equipment or not briefing customers fully before use is highly negligent behaviour and placing users in an unfair position of risk. In a variety of public services there may be an element of risk, but this has to be effectively managed in relation to health and safety procedures. If people are injured because this is not upheld, they are entitled to legal action.
