Major Causes of Burn Injuries
You might suffer a burn in any common accident:
- Car accident—a car could catch on fire, causing a thermal burn if you can’t get out of the car fast enough.
- Truck accidents—large trucks can smash a car and even rupture the battery, splattering acid on occupants. This is a type of chemical burn.
- Motorcycle accidents—motorists can end up suffering a friction burn on their palms or exposed skin when they fall off a motorcycle and skitter down the road.
- Product liability accidents—dangerous products can catch on fire or explode, burning people. You can sue the manufacturer if there is a defect which makes the product dangerous.
- Premise liability accidents—a hazard on property can lead to a burn, such a faulty wiring or a defective appliance that catches fire. You can sue the property owner if they were negligent in protecting visitors to their property.
These are some of the most common accidents. Call The Stano Law Firm if you are hurt in any type of incident caused by another person’s careless conduct.
