Texas's refineries, chemical plants, and oilfields create a high risk of burn injuries, alongside vehicle fires, electrical accidents, scalding, and defective products. Burns are classified by degree and by the percentage of the body affected.
Causes of Serious Burns
Severe burns often require skin grafts, multiple surgeries, and long rehabilitation, with permanent scarring and disfigurement.
The Full Cost of a Burn Injury
Beyond enormous medical bills, burn injuries cause disfigurement, psychological trauma, and lost earning capacity. Compensation should reflect future reconstructive surgery, pain, and the lasting emotional impact.
Where a workplace, defective product, or another party's negligence caused the burn, multiple sources of recovery may exist.
