Philadelphia Burn Injury Lawyers

Burns are some of the most severe injuries a person could ever suffer. In addition to being extremely painful, they often leave physical and psychological scars that can last a lifetime.

According to the American Burn Association, 1.1 million burn injuries require medical attention each year in the United States. Of those, approximately 50,000 require hospitalization and up to 10,000 people die as a result of burn-related infections. Statistics show that at least half of all burn injuries arise from preventable accidents.

A burn injury can change a person’s life in an instant. Second and third degree burns often require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation and psychological counseling to help overcome the mental trauma associated with a burn injury. These burns can take years of treatment in order to heal and usually have a significant impact on the victim’s quality of life and ability to work. Even a simple first-degree burn can become infected and require medical treatment.
