What Causes Burn Injuries?

Like most types of injuries, burn injuries have many different causes. Most often, however, burns are caused by direct contact with something hot. These are referred to as thermal burns, and they are typically the result of fires, explosions, hot foods and liquids, defective products, and more.

Other causes of burns include:

While all types of burns can be serious, understanding the cause of your burn will be crucial for identifying the best treatment available. It could also play a key role in your burn injury claim, as the cause of the burn can determine liability and your right to compensation.


Types & Degrees of Burns

The cause of a burn is only part of determining the best way to treat the injury. The other important factor is the severity of the burn, which is expressed in degrees based on the extent of the damage done to the skin.

Let’s take a closer look:

Ultimately, the degree of a burn determines the severity. The more serious a burn injury is, the more extensive the treatment needed. Ultimately, this also results in more damages. A Cincinnati burn injury lawyer can evaluate the losses you have sustained and pursue the maximum compensation you deserve.

Do I Have a Burn Injury Claim?

If you have suffered a serious burn injury, particularly a third-degree burn, you may be facing significant costs as a result of your medical treatment, lost time away from work, and other expenses. You shouldn’t be forced to pay these expenses on your own if the burn was caused by factors outside of your control.

Multiple legal remedies may be available following a burn injury:

Personal Injury Claims

In Ohio, personal injury claims operate on the principle of negligence. To recover compensation for an injury (such as a burn), you need to prove that someone’s negligence directly caused you harm and resulted in compensable damages.

For example, if you were using your dryer correctly but it malfunctioned and caused a serious electrical burn, you may be able to pursue compensation against the manufacturer under a defective product claim. Or, if a truck driver transporting flammable gas causes an accident that results in burns, you may be able to recover compensation from the trucking company and/or the truck driver for your damages.

Colombo Law handles many types of accidents resulting in burn injuries:

A Cincinnati burn injury lawyer at our firm will fully investigate to determine who is at fault. Once we have collected all pertinent evidence, our attorneys will build a strong case on your behalf. While most of our cases are resolved through out-of-court settlements, we prepare every case as though it will go to trial. Colombo Law is ready and willing to advocate for maximum compensation in court.

Workers’ Compensation

Burns are a common work-related injury in many different occupations. If you suffer a burn in the course of your work, you can claim workers’ compensation benefits.

In Ohio, workers’ comp covers your medical expenses and a portion of your lost wages. You may be entitled to additional benefits if the burn causes permanent impairment. Our burn injury attorneys can help you file a claim, ensure that you get the benefits you are entitled to, and identify any additional legal options you may have.

Wrongful Death

From the trauma of the initial accident to major complications, severe burns carry a high likelihood of fatality. If someone you love died as a result of a burn injury and you believe negligence was a factor, Colombo Law can pursue compensation via a wrongful death claim.

Compensation for a Burn Injury

Burn injuries can be very expensive to treat. They can result in life-altering challenges, including anxiety, PTSD, disfigurement, disability, and more. All of these issues can lead to significant long-term expenses and loss of enjoyment of life.

Hence, if it appears that you have a viable claim for compensation, you and your lawyer need to consider all costs and damages resulting from your burn injury. These may include:

It is of the utmost importance that anyone who has suffered a burn injury considers all of these possible damages when pursuing a claim. The insurance company will almost certainly make a lowball offer (if they make an offer at all), hoping that you do not fully realize the value of your claim.

A burn injury attorney can help you understand the full extent of the damages you are due. We protect your rights and handle all aspects of your case so you can focus on recovery. Our goal is to give you peace of mind and provide qualified legal counsel.
