Common Causes of Burn Injuries

Burn injuries can result from various situations, including:

  • Workplace Accidents: Employees in certain industries, like construction or manufacturing, could be at a higher risk of sustaining burn injuries due to accidents involving chemicals, fire, or electrical malfunctions.
  • Motor Vehicle Accidents: Car crashes and other transportation-related incidents can lead to burn injuries, especially if there is a fuel leak or fire following the collision.
  • Defective Products: Malfunctioning household appliances, electronics, or industrial equipment can cause fires or explosions, leading to serious burn injuries.
  • Electrical Accidents: Faulty wiring, defective electrical equipment, or negligence in handling electrical systems can lead to severe electrical burns.
  • Premises Liability: Property owners could be held responsible for burn injuries that happen on their premises due to unsafe conditions, lack of proper maintenance, or failure to address potential hazards.

Types of Burn Injuries

Burn injuries are classified based on the severity, ranging from first-degree to fourth-degree burns. Each type presents unique challenges and complications:

  • First-Degree Burns: Superficial burns that affect only the outmost layer of the skin, leading to redness and mild pain.
  • Second-Degree Burns: Involving damage to both the outer layer and the underlying skin, these burns cause blisters, intense pain, and potential scarring.
  • Third-Degree Burns: Severe burns that extend into the deeper tissues, affecting nerves and blood vessels. These burns may appear white, black, or charred and often require extensive medical treatment.
  • Fourth-Degree Burns: The most serious form of a burn, impacting not only the skin but also muscles, tendons, and bones. Fourth-degree burns can result in permanent damage and may require amputation or extensive reconstructive surgery.

    “They took care of literally EVERY stressful problem/question/concern I had & made it that much easier on me!”
    I was in a motorcycle accident the day before Father’s Day in 2023 and the outcome would have been over a million dollar case but because of some circumstances, I was facing debt well over $500,000 and I would have been forced to file bankruptcy! Matthew Westmoreland got it to where ALL of my medical bills were covered at UVA AND worked his magic and somehow made it so that I actually got a settlement check (no matter how big or little the check was), I HIGHLY recommend Matthew Westmoreland 1,000 times over!!! And he took care of literally EVERY stressful problem/question/concern I had and made it that much easier on me! Thank you Matthew Westmoreland for EVERYTHING!
