Common Causes of Burn Injuries

Burns can result from a wide range of accidents. Some of the most common causes include:

Thermal Burns

Caused by direct contact with flames, hot liquids, or steam. Often occur in car accidents, fires, and workplace explosions.

Electrical Burns

Result from exposure to electrical currents, such as exposed wiring or faulty equipment. Frequently seen in construction, boating, or household accidents.

Chemical Burns

Caused by skin or eye contact with acidic or corrosive substances. Often occur in industrial workplaces, cleaning accidents, or laboratories.

No matter how the injury occurred, if someone else’s negligence played a role, you may be entitled to compensation.

Degrees of Burn Injuries

Burns are classified based on the depth and severity of tissue damage:

  • First-Degree Burns – Affect only the outer layer of skin (epidermis). Symptoms include redness and minor pain.
  • Second-Degree Burns – Impact both the outer and underlying skin layers. May cause blisters, swelling, and long-term scarring.
  • Third-Degree Burns – The most severe, these burns penetrate all skin layers and can damage nerves, tissue, and fat. Affected areas may appear white, charred, or leathery.

Severe burns may require hospitalization, multiple surgeries, skin grafts, and long-term rehabilitation, all of which can become financially and emotionally overwhelming.

Your Right to Compensation

If you suffered a burn injury because of another party’s negligence, you may be eligible to recover compensation for:

  • Emergency medical care and hospital stays
  • Surgical procedures and skin grafts
  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation
  • Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
