Burn Injury Lawyers
In the United States in 2009, thousands of people were killed every year due to some type of fire-related incident, and significantly more people sustained burn-related injuries. Many burn injuries and deaths in Texas are due to the carelessness or recklessness of others. Among some of the more common causes of burn injuries are: faulty wiring or plumbing, auto accidents, defective automobiles, unsafe workplaces, poorly maintained smoke alarms or residences lacking the devices, and defective products.
Burn and inhalation injuries are deadly and fatal for those who suffer from them. These injuries are expensive and can cost thousands to treat. First-degree burns can take months to heal, and third-degree burns can take up to several years to treat. This can put a burden on the victim’s time, money, and ability to live.
