Marina District Serious Burn Injury Attorneys
Marina District Burn Injury Lawyers
In 2010, approximately 3,000 people died from fire accidents and countless more were injured. While the fire and heat are the most common causes of burn injuries, electrical accidents and chemical accidents can also result in serious burn injuries. Burn injuries can cause deep tissue damage, bone damage, and nerve damage that require a costly and lengthy recovery. If you or your loved one has been burned in an accident caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. Please consult one of our Marina District burn injury lawyers to determine your eligibility to seek compensation for your severe burn injuries.
Causes of Burn Injuries
Severe burn injuries can be sustained in a number of different situations. Negligence in fire, chemical, and electrical safety standards can result in serious burn injuries:
- Lack of/defective smoke detectors
- Electrocution burns
- Failure to obey fire codes
- Defective fuel systems in vehicles
- Chemical accidents
- Defective/unsafe space heaters
- Shoddy electrical wiring of buildings.
Third and Fourth Degree Burns
Most burn injuries are first or second-degree burns that typically heals completely with only minor scarring. However, serious burns can require expensive medical treatment and may take weeks to recover. Third and fourth degree burns affect the deep tissue and can reach past the bone, causing nerve damage, permanent motor disabilities, and for some severe burn injuries, it may even be necessary to amputate the affected area to prevent blood poisoning.
