Suffering from a Burn Injury?
A bad burn injury can be life altering.
While a burn injury may not be the first thing you think of when you hear auto injury, motor vehicle accidents can cause:
- Airbag burns, thermal and ballistic, if it is deployed too quickly
- Friction burns or “road rash” from rubbing against the vehicle’s interior or seatbelt
- Chemical burns from exposure to hazardous leaks
Burn injuries can also occur in public-serving businesses like restaurants when safety precautions are either mismanaged, not properly implemented, or not implemented at all, such as exposure to:
- Scalding liquids
- Hot grease
- Contact with harsh cleaning chemicals
- Flame/fire
- Electricity
Burn injuries can vary widely in severity, with second, third, or fourth-degree burns causing blisters, risk of infection, deep tissue damage, the need for skin grafts, or even permanent disfigurement.
