Serious burns are among the most painful and debilitating injuries a person can sustain. Along with the possibility of permanent scarring, burns can cause serious internal injuries that affect other bodily systems long after the accident.

Burn Injuries at the Workplace

Many burn injuries are suffered at work due to preventable accidents, carelessness, and failure to comply with safety precautions. Jobs that involve harsh chemicals, hot machinery, and open flames may be especially dangerous. Burn injuries in the workplace can involve the following:

Chemicals
Fire
Electricity
Radiation
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Defective Products
And others

Burn Injuries Require Extensive, Specialized Treatment

Serious burn injuries are likely to result in permanent scars because the skin cannot fully heal. Though advanced medical treatment, like skin grafts, can help treat some of the impact of burn injuries, the damaged skin will never fully heal, which can impact burn victims physically and emotionally for the rest of their lives. We pursue the full extent of economic and non-economic damages suffered from burn injuries.

Skin damage by serious burns can result in life-long impacts such as:

Loss of elasticity
Loss of ability to perspire
Loss of ability to regrow hair on damaged skin
Loss of nerves/sensation
Heightened risk of infection
Vulnerability to heat, cold, and sunlight
