Statistics from Ohio and elsewhere indicate that fires and burns are the fifth most common cause of unintentional deaths in the U.S. Fire and burn injuries can result from multiple causes, including:

• Defective product
• Industrial explosions
• Flammable materials
• Gas explosions
• Hot liquid burns
• Motor vehicle fires
• Building fires
• Household fires
• Radiation burns from x-rays or tanning beds
• Surgical burns

A burn injury can require painful skin grafts, surgical debridement, multiple wound checks, plastic surgery, and a long recovery process. Burn victims are also highly susceptible to infections. For many burn injury victims, full recovery could be months or even years away. It is essential for a burn victim to obtain the compensation needed to cover medical bills for surgeries and rehabilitation, as well as lost wages while they are unable to work.
