Claims for Burns & Poisoning

Burn injury claims

Burn injuries vary greatly in type and severity. While the majority of burns are minor injuries which will heal easily at home, more severe burns can be some of the most painful and psychologically damaging injuries a person can sustain. Psychological damages are often multiplied if the burns occurred on visible areas of the body such as the arms and face, particularly if permanent scarring has taken place.

Burns are often thought to be caused by only heat, in fact they but can also be caused by exposure to electricity, light, radiation, friction and chemicals. Sofa burn injuries are an example of burns resulting from a chemical, in this case the offending substance is known to be dimethylfumarate.
