In Burbank, California, both men and women go to the local hair salon on a regular basis to get the latest fashion in hair trends, or to up keep their regular hair cut. Sometimes people have their hair dyed by the hair professional and go from being a brunette to a blond in a matter of hours. In the world of cosmetology there are certain regulations a hair stylist must follow to ensure the safety of the person whose hair they are cutting or dying with chemicals. The use of scissors and clippers as well as bleach and other chemicals can cause injuries to customers if the hair professional does not exercise caution in using the instruments and solutions.

One example of a hair salon injury is one reported by a woman who was confused as to the liability of a hair salon if they injure you. She reports that while having her hair cut short, the hair stylist was using clipper near the back of her neck and upon the careless handling by the stylist of the clippers, the woman suffered a deep cut on her neck. The hair professional acted as though it was not that big of a deal and that the customer had no right to be concerned.

But when the woman went home here husband informed her that the cut was very deep and bleeding a lot. The woman complained of significant pain from the cut and attempted to contact the hair salon about this incident. Her husband applied a pain relief ointment to her deep cut, but it did not make the pain completely go away. The manager of the salon only asked what the woman would like her to do about the cut and offered no form of acceptance for liability of this woman's injuries.

In early March 2009, a semi-tractor trailer big rig truck while traveling on Interstate 5 (I-5) caught fire while transporting unknown chemicals northbound.  In an attempt to prevent injuries from both the truck fire as well as the unknown chemicals it was transporting, the California Highway Patrol shut down both northbound and southbound lanes of the I-5.

The Interstate 5 was closed starting at around 6:45 p.m.  It wasn't until two hours later that the only the southbound lanes were reopened.  The northbound lanes remained closed for most of the night as emergency chemical clean-up crews worked to combat the chemicals and while they waited for the toxic fumes to dissipate to safety levels which would then permit passenger motor vehicles to drive through the affected area.  There is no indication as to whether anyone, including the truck driver, was injured as a result of this chemical truck accident fire.
