Burn Injuries

A burn injury is one the most painful, disfiguring and emotionally damaging injury a person can suffer. These types of injuries are the second leading cause of accidental death in the United States. Healing from a burn injury happens over time. It can take years before reconstructive surgery can be performed, leaving you physically and psychologically scarred. Speak to one of our Michigan personal injury lawyers to hear about your options regarding compensation for your burn injury.

There are various incidents and accidents that can cause a burn injury, such as:

  • Car accidents
  • Electrical accidents
  • Truck and SUV accidents
  • Household fires
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Defective household appliances that explode (such as a furnace or microwave)
  • Other defective products
  • Industrial accidents
  • Chemical spills
  • Scalding liquids
  • Gasoline spills
  • Plant explosions

Burns are characterized by depth and labeled as first degree, second degree or third degree. Short-term burn treatment includes antibiotics, bandages and pressure garments. Skin grafts are often required to transplant skin from one area of your body to replace damaged skin. Long-term care depends on the severity of your burn injury, in addition to any chemicals or smoke that you may have inhaled.

If you or a loved one has suffered a burn injury and you live in the Flint, Michigan area, please contact the Michigan personal injury lawyers at Jay Trucks & Associates, PC to schedule your free consultation.
