Our Massachusetts Burn Injury Attorneys Are Here to Assist You or Your Loved One in Pursuing Your Massachusetts Personal Injury Claim. Your Needs Are Our Top Priority!Nearly 2.4 million burn injuries take place in the United States every year. The vast majority of these injuries were preventable if proper precautions had been taken. Recently, statistics from the United States Fire Administration indicate that over 3,000 civilians and 100 firefighters are killed every year in fire accidents. Just about 84% of these fire deaths take place in apartments, homes and other residences. There is approximately $850 million in property damage every year that is the result of the 32,500 fires that are purposefully set. Burn injuries that take place in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts include Massachusetts house fires, Massachusetts motor vehicle fires, hot liquid scalds, Massachusetts electrical shock, Massachusetts chemical explosions, Massachusetts workplace accidents and Massachusetts arson, among others. Defective or malfunctioning Massachusetts products, such as space heaters, electric blankets and lamps that have the capacity to overheat, can also result in accidental fires. Massachusetts burn injuries can also be caused by a hazardous Massachusetts work site; Massachusetts driver negligence; sub-standard maintenance of Massachusetts machinery and improper fire alarms or fire exits. Massachusetts industrial sites, particularly those where workers are in contact with flammable or hazardous materials, should have easily-accessible fire extinguishers and first aid materials. Massachusetts employers and Massachusetts property owners also have a duty to provide a safe working and living space with an adequate number of unblocked fire exits. The burn injuries that are caused by Massachusetts accidents can vary in severity, and can even lead to wrongful death. A superficial burn, which is otherwise known as a first-degree burn, can result in soreness and redness, but does not cause blistering. A partial-thickness burn, which is otherwise known as a second-degree burn, often results in blisters, wetness and substantial pain. A full-thickness burn, which is also known as a third-degree burn, usually causes charred skin that may be white, gray or black. Often, the skin color will change due to the destruction of the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin. There may be less pain in the burned area where nerve endings have been damaged. Massachusetts chemical burns are particularly dangerous because they have the potential to corrode the skin. In addition, Massachusetts electrical burns are some of the most damaging burns that an individual can sustain. Massachusetts electrical burns often cause muscle and nerve injuries, which may lead to problems with coordination or even cardiac arrest. Children are more susceptible to Massachusetts burn injuries than adults, not only because they are more likely to be involved in a burn injury accident but also because a child’s skin is less thick than adult skin. Children may be burned from scalding bathtub water, hot liquids and hot foods. Additionally, children may be burned while playing with flames from matches, fireplaces, lighters and barbeque grills and pits. Superficial partial-thickness burns may be treated by running cool water on the area or using cold compresses. Afterwards, sterile gauze should be used to cover the burn. Over-the-counter painkillers may also help to reduce the pain. On the other hand, large partial-thickness burns or full-thickness burns necessitate immediate medical attention. The affected area should be covered with damp towels and bandages, and it should also be kept elevated. It is also necessary that the burn is not immersed in water. Appropriately treating these types of burns is crucial in order to prevent death in extreme burn cases. Once you have received medical treatment for your burn injuries, you are most likely wondering how you can hold the parties that are responsible for your burn injuries liable. The expert and highly skilled Boston, Massachusetts personal injury lawyers and Boston, Massachusetts wrongful death lawyers at the Boston, Massachusetts Law Offices of Gilbert R. Hoy, Jr. and Affiliates will fight on your behalf to get you full and fair compensation for your pain and suffering, scarring, disfigurement, medical expenses or wrongful death. Emergency care treatment, skin grafting and plastic surgeries, pain medications and physical therapy are often required to appropriately treat the burn victims’ injuries. Oftentimes, these procedures will destabilize the victim and the victim’s family’s financial situation. In addition, severe Massachusetts burn injuries often require that the victim take a significant amount of time to recover. An injured Massachusetts burn victim may be unable to work for months at a time. Our Boston, MA Personal Injury Lawyer Specialists Are Available
