In the United States, approximately 2.4 million burn injuries are reported each year. Medical professionals treat approximately 650,000 people for burn injuries; 75,000 of these individuals are hospitalized. Of those hospitalized, 20,000 have major burns involving at least 25% of their total body surface. Between 8,000 and 12,000 patients with burns die, and approximately one million will sustain substantial or permanent disabilities resulting from their burn injuries.
Burn injuries can result from a variety of different activities and sources. Whether at home or on the job you can unknowingly be exposed to dangers, including:
Building Fires
Hot Liquids

Burn accidents are often caused by someone's carelessness or failure to act. Burn survivors may endure physical trauma, pain, disfigurement, organ and body chemistry damage, and temperature change sensitivity.
Burn injuries, in addition to the physical damage, can cause emotional scarring. Fear and anger are typical. The stares, questions, and well intended overprotection and sympathy can be overwhelming to a burn survivor. Self doubt, self worth, and identity questions surface. Relationships can suffer and physical activities can be a challenge. Hospitalization and recuperation can affect the victim's education and career.
A burn victim may be entitled to compensation for: medical expenses (current and future); lost wages (current and future); disfigurement; emotional pain and suffering; mental impairment; and physical disability.
