What Causes Burn Injuries?People may be badly burned for a variety of reasons. In addition to fires in the home, some of the most common causes of burn injuries include;
- Car accidents
- Scalding liquid or steam
- Friction burns
- Malfunctioning or defective products
- Toxic chemicals or substances
- Exposed or poor wiring
Burns result in some of the most painful injuries that a person endures. They range in severity. Minor burn injuries typically cause the skin to turn red and swell, but it’s not severe enough to require medical treatment.
Severe burns beyond the first layer of a person's skin may damage nerves, muscles, organs, or bones. Extensive medical treatment and surgery are often necessary to repair the damage done. An injured person may need months of physical rehabilitation and rest to recover.
If the burn accident was not completely your fault, you might be entitled to compensation to cover such expenses as;
- Necessary medical treatment includes your emergency room visit, surgery, skin grafts, hospital stay, and medication.
- Physical rehabilitation
- In-home and continuing care such as visits to the doctor and transportation costs.
In addition to the above, you may be unable to earn a living while recovering from your injuries. You may be reimbursed for the income lost when you couldn’t work. If your injuries are severe enough where they permanently impact your future earning potential, you may be eligible for damages to compensate for this loss.
There are other damages a burn injury may recover. They may be compensated for the pain and suffering as they recover. An accident victim may suffer from mental anguish if their injuries result in permanent scarring, discoloration, or disfigurement.
