Burn Accidents

Burn injuries are among the most painful and debilitating types of injuries a person can experience. Like any personal injury case, burn accidents require a claimant to prove that the at-fault party was negligent and caused the burn injury.  Because burn injuries can be caused by anything from a construction accident to a house fire to an exploding product to a car crash, the work that is required on each case is different and requires knowledgeable and experienced legal counsel. 

Various types of legal issues can arise with burn injury cases.  For example, if the fire and subsequent burn injury or wrongful death arose from a faulty product (such as a battery connected to a household appliance) or faulty wiring, retaining the right experts is critical to building the evidence to support a case.  Preservation of the faulty product (for example, a faulty battery that causes an explosion or a car or truck that has been recalled for causing fires) is important and requires an experienced legal team. The initial investigation and preservation of key evidence can make or break a case against an at-fault party.

Beyond proving that a person or entity is responsible for causing a fire or explosion, the extent of a burn injury goes into the value of a case.  The severity of a burn depends on how deep the damage goes below the skin’s surface. Burns are categorized into three types based on the level of severity:

  • First-degree burns are the mildest form of burns and affect the top layer of skin. They typically cause redness, swelling and pain, and usually heal on their own within a week. Medical professionals also refer to these burns as “superficial partial-thickness” burns.
  • Second-degree burns damage the first and second layers of the skin and are also referred to as “partial-thickness” burns. These burns often result in blisters and scarring, are extremely painful, and can take weeks or months to heal.
  • Third-degree burns, also called “full-thickness” burns, damage all layers of the skin and underlying tissues. These severe burns often require skin grafts and may be fatal.

Burns can arise in a variety of settings and may require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term care. Common types of burn injuries include:

  • Thermal Burns: Caused by exposure to flames, hot surfaces, or steam.
  • Chemical Burns: Caused by exposure to corrosive chemicals or substances.
  • Electrical Burns: Caused by contact with an electrical current.
  • Radiation Burns: Caused by exposure to sources of radiation.
