Causes & Types of Burn Injuries
Burn injuries can result from auto accidents, trucking accidents, motorcycle accidents, and bicycle accidents. Additionally, burn injuries often occur in industrial settings, such as construction sites and factories. Burns may be caused not only by fire and explosions but also by chemical exposure and radiation.
Types of burn injuries include:
- Heat Burns: Heat burns, or thermal burns, are caused by fire, steam, hot objects, or hot liquids. Scald burns from hot liquids are the most common burns suffered by children and older adults.
- Friction Burns: Friction burns, a combination of a scrape and a heat burn, are caused by contact with any hard surface, such as roads, sidewalks, or indoor flooring. Motorcycle and bicycle riders involved in road accidents are especially vulnerable to severe friction burns.
- Electrical Burns: Electrical burns are caused by contact with electrical sources, such as exposed wiring and uncovered outlets.
- Chemical Burns: Chemical burns are caused by contact with household or industrial chemicals in a liquid, solid, or gas form.
- Radiation Burns: Radiation burns are caused by the sun, tanning booths, sunlamps, X-rays, or radiation therapy for cancer treatment.
Burn injuries can result in long-term treatment and rehabilitation, depending on the nature, severity, and location of the burns. Our Monterey County burn injury attorneys help victims seek compensation from any responsible parties for the costs of those injuries, including past and future medical expenses, lost wages, inability to do normal activities, and the length of healing and rehabilitation.
