The American Burn Association estimates that there are more than 1 million burn injuries every year. These injuries are estimated to result in 700,000 emergency room visits per year, 45,000 hospitalizations and 4, 500 deaths annually. At the California Attorney Group, we have extensive experience in burn injury cases, and we know how traumatic these can be.
Burn injuries are particularly traumatic not only because of the server pain they can inflict, but also the permanent cosmetic disfigurement and life-long emotional distress that are associated with many burn injuries, and the need for long-term medical care to treat burn victims. As skin grafts do not grow, burn injury victims typically require multiple surgeries and skin grafts to replace tissue damaged by burns .
Burns can be caused by many sources : faulty electrical equipment and wiring, hazardous cleaning supplies and chemicals, defective children's toys and clothing, vehicle fuels and additives, cigarettes and cigars, motor vehicle crashes, industrial explosions, and even hot beverages, baths and showers.
