Burn injuries can be very severe and are the result of injury in many types of situations — car accidents, motorcycle accidents, plane accidents, electric shock, building fires, defective product products, explosions and medical procedures.

Third-degree burn victims undergo months of painful recovery and face the risk of infection. They often require skin grafts and reconstructive surgery, resulting in substantial medical costs, months away from work and potentially permanent disability.
Exposure To Electricity Can Result In Painful Burn Injuries
The most common injury related to electrical shock is a burn. Burns sustain from electric shock are different from chemical or thermal burns. They tend to have deeper surface penetration and other complications. Electrical burns often cause an indirect or secondary injury through involuntary movement resulting in broken bones and bruises. Sometimes the electrical shock causes collisions or falls that result in substantial injuries and delayed or immediate death.
Burn injuries of all types involve long-term physical and psychological effects, so it is crucial to consider medical costs, lost wages and compensation for pain and suffering — which can be considerable. Burn injuries are extremely painful, so burn victims ought to be compensated for the extensive suffering.
