Burn and Fire Accident Injury

Burn injuries occur when heat, electricity, chemicals, or radiation damage the body's tissues. Burns can range from mild to severe, and the degree of pain associated with these injuries will vary. Symptoms of burns include things such as pain, swelling, blisters, and loss of skin. Mild burns that are small and shallow may only require first aid treatment such as proper cleansing and application of antibiotic cream. Deep burns, however, can cause extensive damage and may be accompanied by serious, life-threatening complications.

If you or a loved one has suffered a burn injury in a preventable accident due to someone else's negligence, you may have a case to recover compensation. Contact a burn accident injury attorney in your local area to discuss your case.

Some of the most common causes of burn injuries include, but not limited to:

  • Apartment building fires
  • Car accidents and truck explosions
  • Chemical burns
  • Defective products
  • Electrical accidents
  • Fireworks accidents
  • Gas line explosions
  • Scalding water and pipes

According to American Burn Association (ABA), it's estimated that approximately 450,000 Americans require medical treatment for burn injuries on an annual basis, and roughly 40,000 are hospitalized for an extended period of time to treat their burn-related injuries. Burns damage nerve endings and affect the muscles, bones, and blood vessels. Burn injuries can adversely impact the respiratory system causing respiratory failure. The skin is also damaged by burn injuries. Not only is the appearance of the skin altered, but burns may impair the body's ability to regulate its body temperature and interfere with dexterity.

Accidents resulting in burn injuries are often caused by the negligence of another. When a person's reckless or careless behavior causes injury to another, the negligent party can be held liable for the victim's injuries. For example, if an individual purchases a product, uses the product according to the product's intended purpose, and is injured due to a defect in the product, the manufacturer may be held liable for monetary damages. A distracted or otherwise negligent driver that causes an automobile accident in which another person sustains burn injuries may be ordered to financially compensate the victim for their injuries. Burn accident lawyers will work with the victim to determine all parties responsible for their injuries. These lawyers, usually employed by law firms specializing in burn accidents, will have the experience and skills needed to ensure the responsible party is brought to justice.

An experienced burn accident injury lawyers understand the importance of obtaining a fair and adequate settlement for their clients. Burn injuries can take months or years to heal, and victims may require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and other special services. An expert lawyer by your side will have the ability to negotiate or litigate proper financial remuneration for any inuries suffered or damages. Burn injuries can seriously impact the life of the victim, and those responsible for the accident that caused these injuries should be held accountable.

If you or a loved one is the vicitim of a serious burn injury due to someone else's negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for your financial losses and suffering. Contact a burn accident injury attorney in your local area to discuss your case.
