Burn Injuries Lawyers

Each year on average, 450,000 people in the United States – nearly half a million – suffer burn injuries requiring medical attention, according to the American Burn Association. Burn injuries can cause much more than just skin damage such as scarring and disfigurement, which may be permanent. Injuries suffered from burns may also seriously affect nerve endings, muscles, and other tissues under the skin, affecting mobility and other lasting damage.

Burn injuries may result from a number of accidents, including

  • Auto accidents
  • Building fires
  • Chemical exposure
  • Defective candles, heaters, and fireplaces
  • Electrical accidents, including electrocution
  • Explosions generated by liquid fuel or chemicals
  • Gasoline spills
  • Industrial accidents
  • Lighters and matches
  • Scalding water
Injuries suffered because of a burn often result in serious pain and suffering, along with scarring and disfigurement. The treatment of burns is in itself painful and prolonged, often requiring extensive hospitalization and reconstructive surgery, resulting in high medical bills that may not be covered by their insurance, along with lost wages and other damages. Burn victims may also suffer serious trauma and psychological pain, which affects their marital, family, social, and work lives.
