Burn Injury Attorney
The damage caused by burns can vary according to the size and severity and location of the injury. Severe burns can be totally debilitating, causing a loss in quality of life and emotional trauma. Or they can result in scarring, disfigurement, lethal electrolyte imbalance or wound infection.
Burns are an injury that can result from a number of different reasons, and can change your life. If you have suffered a burn injury as a result of someone else's negligence or misconduct you need a compassionate yet aggressive attorney who will stand up for your rights.
Burn injuries can come from several causes:
- Thermal burns are caused by flames, radiation, or heat from steam or hot liquids.
- Chemical burns are caused by contact with acids, bases and caustics.
- Electrical burns happen when a current passes through someone, either from a man-made source or lightning.
- Sunlight or when somenone comes in contact with intense light sources such as tanning beds.
- Radiation burns stem from nuclear sources or UV rays.
Most common are burns caused by scalds, building fires, and flammable liquids and gases.
Severity of burns can vary greatly, but the recovery process is often slow and painful.
