Burn Injury from Fires, Explosions

A Burn Injury from Fires, Explosions May Result from a Work Accident

Burn injuries are among the most painful and traumatic injuries. Household fires account for many burn injuries. But people in Pennsylvania and New Jersey can be severely burned during recreational activities or while at work. A burn does not necessarily have to be a result of contact with fire. Some severe burns can arise out of contact with chemicals or scalding water.

An industrial accident may result in an explosion that leads to severe burns or even death. Auto and truck accidents, particularly if the truck is carrying a large amount of flammable material, may result in fires or explosions.

Even household chores involving gasoline engines, such operating a lawn mower or leaf blower, may lead to a burn injury.

If you or a loved one has suffered a burn injury because of a fire or explosion, you need a qualified lawyer to defend your rights. You may be entitled to compensation for lost wages, lost income earning potential, lost quality of life and pain and suffering. You deserve justice. Flager & Yockey can help.

Burn injuries can range in severity, from first to fourth degree burns:

  • First degree- Less serious burns that may include minor pain and redness of the skin
  • Second degree - Burns causing blisters and superficial destruction of the dermis
