Houston Burn Injury Lawyer

Types of Burn Injuries

More than 1 million people suffer some type of burn injury in the United States each year. 4,500 of these individuals die from their injuries, and countless others require hospitalization or years of medical care and physical therapy. Burns can come in a variety of forms, including:

Fires - Fires are the most common cause of burn injuries. They typically occur in commercial or residential structures, though it is not uncommon for people to be injured by recreational fires, such as those involving campfires or fireworks.
Electrical burns - These injuries are brought about by exposure to high voltage electricity. A strong electric current runs through the body, causing burns at both the point of entry and the point of exit. If the current passes through the heart, it can cause heart failure and even death.
Chemical burns - These injuries are caused by exposure to or contact with dangerous chemicals, such as acids. Chemical burns frequently take place in refineries, plants, and other industrial structures.
Thermal burns - These occur when a person is exposed to or comes in contact with flashes of extreme heat, steam, hot liquids, or hot surfaces.
