The Many Causes Of Burn Injuries

A serious burn injury can be life-changing. Unfortunately, the risks for burns surround us each day, both at work and at home. Our personal injury attorneys regularly represent Ohio residents who suffered burns from the following causes:

  • Exploding e-cigarettes
  • Faulty lawn mowers
  • Unstable propane tanks
  • Improperly installed natural gas lines
  • Surgical explosions
  • Industrial accidents
  • Exposure to hazardous chemicals
  • Dangerous/faulty products
  • Electrocution

Burns Resulting From Electrocution

Exposure to electricity can cause a number of injuries, some of which may be fatal. Burn injuries are especially common during an electrocution accident. External burns can be severe, causing lasting disfigurement and pain. The electrical current passing through the body can also cause internal burns, which can be difficult to treat.

These types of injuries are especially common at construction sites and other places with extension cords, power tools, temporary electrical lines, excavation and electrical work.

Understanding Third-Degree Burns

The most severe burns are categorized as “third-degree burns”. These burns penetrate all skin layers and can cause permanent nerve damage. Strangely, the nerve damage may block pain receptors, resulting in little to no pain for the burn victim.

Treating burns may require surgery, and other significant medical care to prevent dangerous infections, shock, hypothermia and even death. We understand the physical toll that these injuries take on your body and the level of compensation needed to combat them.
