Georgia Burn Injuries Attorney
Severe burn injuries of any kind, accidental or not, can be devastating to body and spirit of both young and old. The physical and emotional scars left by these injuries linger, leaving permanent reminders of a painful time. Burn victims are often required to be subjected to physical and psychological healing throughout their lives.
At the Law Offices of Joseph A. Fried, we've come to the legal aid of all kinds of accident burn injury sufferers, and fought long and hard for their right to just and fair compensation for their wounds. We'll do the same for you too. We maximize results, one client at a time.
Burn Injury Statistics
Each year in the U.S., more that one million people suffer burn injuries, of which an estimated 4,500 die. More than 500,000 burn victims are treated in hospital emergency rooms each year, 45,000 of those requiring hospital stays.
In the childhood burn injury department, burns are one of the leading causes of childhood injury in America. Some 250,000 children are injured, and more than one thousand die each year, as a result of burn trauma. Ironically enough, it's also been reported that 80 percent of burn injuries and deaths are preventable.
We take severe accident burn injuries to children very seriously, at the Law Offices of Joseph A. Fried. If something of this extreme nature happens to your child, be in touch with our lawyer in Atlanta or Peachtree City immediately.
Types of Accident Burn Injuries
The ways in which a person may suffer an accident burn injury include:
- Thermal (flame, radiation, extreme heat from fire steam, hot liquids or objects)
- Chemical (various acids, bases, caustics)
- Electrical (electrical current, lightning)
These kinds of severe burn injuries have been known to happen because of motor vehicle accidents, especially rear-end collisions; warehouse, natural gas, oil tank, or electrical fires; and fires originating in restaurant or residential kitchens.
The Aftermath
Severe burns usually affect more than just the skin, in the form of weakened vital systems or serious infections. The results could include collapses of the circulatory system, digestive system, and urinary tract, and also cause shock, pneumonia, and stress ulcers. The many accident burn victims we've met eventually required the constant, expensive care of teams of medical specialists.
Accident victims suffering these kinds of severe burn injuries are precisely the people we've been reaching out to, and negotiating or litigating on behalf of, for more than 15 years. If you or your loved one is suffering in the same way, due to the negligence or carelessness of someone else, please contact our offices. We maximize results, one client at a time.
