Champaign Burn Injury Attorneys
Burn injuries are highly painful and potentially dangerous injuries. Most people associate burns with open flames or hot surfaces, but they can actually be caused in many different ways, including exposure to harsh chemicals or ultraviolet radiation (which is found in sunlight). Sadly, most burn injuries that people suffer could have been prevented by closer adherence to safety rules.
Of course, this does not mean that burn victims are always to blame for their own injuries. Many victims’ injuries are actually caused or exacerbated by another party’s negligence. If you or a member of your family has suffered severe burn injuries caused by another person or company, call the Champaign burn injury attorneys of Spiros Law, P.C. at (217) 328-2828 to discuss your options.
Types of Burns
All burns share the following characteristics: they are caused by external factors, and they cause damage to the skin. If they are severe, this damage may extend to muscles, nerves, and even bones. Beyond these similarities, burns can vary in many ways. The different types of burn injury include:
- Thermal burns – Caused by contact with hot surfaces or open flames
- Electrical burns – Caused by contact with open electrical currents
- Radiation burns – Caused by exposure to ultraviolet or other kinds of radiation
- Chemical burns – Caused by contact with caustic chemicals
- Scald burns – Caused by contact with very hot liquids or gases
A severe burn of any type carries risk for major health complications, including scarring, disfigurement, and infection. Our Champaign burn injury lawyers believe that if a negligent person causes innocent victims to suffer these consequences, he or she should face justice.
