Gas explosions remain one of the main reasons burn injuries are treated at hospitals. According to the American Burn Association, burn victims make up over 700,000 trips to the hospital emergency rooms each year and of those visits over 45,000 of those individuals require hospitalization. These injuries include blisters, charred skin, and even nerve damage. These kinds of medical bills can be astounding, especially if there are other damages that occurred in the wreck. It’s important to consult legal counsel in the event of a serious car accident resulting in thousands in damages and expenses.
