Fires and explosions
Electrical accidents
Chemical exposure
Scalding from hot liquids or steam
Defective products (e.g., faulty appliances or flammable materials)
Workplace accidents, such as in construction or industrial settings
Burn injuries are classified by degree, ranging from first-degree burns (superficial) to third- or fourth-degree burns that penetrate deeper layers of skin and tissue, often causing permanent damage.
Long-Term Effects of Burn Injuries
Severe burn injuries often have lasting physical and psychological effects, including:
Chronic pain and sensitivity
Limited mobility or loss of function
Permanent scarring and disfigurement
Risk of infections and complications
Emotional trauma, including anxiety, depression, or PTSD
These long-term effects can significantly impact a victim’s quality of life and ability to work, making it essential to seek full and fair compensation.
