areas of practice - burn injuries

Burn injuries are some of the most debilitating and painful experiences an individual may
be faced with. Recovery from serious burn injuries takes long periods of time, which may
entail necessary medical procedures.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly two and a half million burn injuries are
suffered annually, with nearly seventy-five thousand of these requiring prolonged hospitalization.

These cases have involved many causes including propane, natural gas explosions, products causing automotive and/or home fires, as well as electrical, scald, and chemical related burns.

The pain, discomfort and recovery process are intense and long lasting, and the potential scarring
or disfigurement can have a psychological impact that can last a person’s lifetime.

There are many issues that must be addressed when dealing with a burn injury. Medical issues ranging from scarring, infection, debridement, grafting, restrictions in range of motion are just some of the considerations involved in treatment and recovery from a burn.

As in most accidents, timely investigation regarding the cause of the burns is critical to the outcome of any litigation.
