Common Causes of Burns in Personal Injury Claims
Burn injuries that become the subject of lawsuits are often sustained in the home, workplace or in a traffic accident; specifically, burn injuries are commonly caused by:
Electrical shock, fires, explosions, chemical spills - these are all things that can cause a severe burn and that tend to occur in workplaces and construction sites. Accidents involving defective products - such as faulty water heaters - can happen in your home. Traffic accidents can cause burns if an explosion or fire occurs, or if the vehicle occupant is thrown onto the roadway, which is not uncommon in motorcycle accidents.
How a Severe Burn Can Affect Your Life
A serious burn can have consequences for the rest of your life. Even after the burn has been treated, it can have long-term repercussions such as:
- Disfigurement and scarring
- Chronic pain
- Partial disability
- Loss of sensation
- Lung damage
- Brain damage
- Death
These are serious consequences that can affect your quality of life and your wellbeing. You may be unable to perform the job duties you had before the injury, and you could lose income as a result. You may need expensive reconstructive surgery and rehabilitation treatment. These medical expenses and bills will begin piling up, placing a heavy financial burden on your shoulders in addition to the physical, emotional and mental pain you may be feeling.
At Polewski & Associates, we believe you need and deserve compensation to help you recover from your burn injury. In a personal injury lawsuit, our attorney will fight for this compensation on your behalf.
