Burn Injuries
Burn Survivors of Personal Injury Accidents in the U.S.
Burn injuries are devastating—the physical pain can be monstrous and the emotional confusion of scarification can lead to real mental problems. Getting back to work can be tough, if not medically impossible.
Sometimes, burn injuries are the result of an accident, like a building fire or a car crash, but, other times, a product you used properly and trusted to be safe causes your injury.
Our attorneys at Sloan, Bagley, Hatcher & Perry help you with burn injuries, whether they are a result of automobile accident negligence, premises liability or product liability causes.
How Burn Injuries Happen
Each year, over a million people in the United States suffer a burn injury that requires medical treatment as a result of another person’s reckless or negligent actions.
Burn injuries, which range from superficial first-degree burns to life-threatening fourth-degree burns, occur when a person comes in contact with extreme heat or chemical agents. Car accidents, explosions, scalding water, electrocutions, work accidents, gas spills, and fires commonly cause burn injuries. The pain, suffering, and psychological trauma resulting from these burns can be a source of extreme physical pain and psychological stress for the survivor.
