An easy answer is can you get insurance? If not, maybe you want to apply your talents to a different type of site.

It will likely be difficult to find a lawyer to take this case on a contingency basis. Take it to the store and show them the burnt phone. Perhaps they will supply you a new phone, and maybe even fix your table. You can search Google to see if others have reported similar problems.
