Oakland Burn Injury Attorney
Burn injuries are one of the most traumatic and painful types of injury a person can endure, both physically and emotionally. Burn injuries can cause extreme pain, disfigurement, and emotional scarring long after a burn heals. The Oakland burn injury lawyers at Estey & Bomberger have handled a large number of burn injury claims and have recovered millions in verdicts in settlements for California burn injury victims.
Burn Injury Compensation
Serious burn injuries can happen to anyone. Estey & Bomberger represents victims in claims against negligent parties responsible for burn injuries. Victims of burn injuries may be entitled to compensation for their physical disfigurement, pain and suffering, medical bills, future surgeries to repair damage for burn injuries, and other related expenses. Compensation for burn injury victims can help victims receive the best possible medical care and psychological treatment for the emotional affects of burn injuries.
Types of Bury Injuries
People can suffer many different types of burns with varying degrees of severity.
- Thermal burns: Thermal burns are burns caused by exposure to a heat source. Examples of thermal burns are burns caused by exposure to open flame, hot liquid, or hot metal, such as exposure to an iron.
- Chemical burns: Exposure to caustic or abrasive chemicals can cause a chemical burn. Some household cleaning agents and other industrial strength chemicals (such as concrete) can cause chemical burns.
- Inhalation burns: Inhalation of toxic chemicals such as hydrofluoric acid, chlorine and ammonia, or smoke or cyanide from burning toxins can cause serious inhalation injuries. Inhalation burns are more likely to occur in enclosed areas or during fires. Inhaled carbon monoxide can cause internal injury as well as contribute to brain damage.
- Radiation burns: A radiation burn is a type of burn injury caused by exposure to radium, atomic energy, x-rays or ultraviolet rays. Severe sunburns are radiation burns, as are injuries caused by medical x-rays and tanning booths. Radiation burns are also known as light burns.
- Electrical burns: Electrocution injuries and electrical burns can be caused by exposure to an electrical current. Less than 5% of patients admitted to burn treatment units have suffered an electrical burn injury.
- Cold Burns: Exposure to very low temperature objects, such as dry ice, liquid nitrogen, liquid helium, and gas dusters can cause permanent irreparable cold burn injuries.
Causes of Burn Injuries
Burn injuries can be mild to catastrophic or even fatal. There are many different kinds of burns, and burn injuries can have countless causes:
- Auto accidents
- Aviation accidents
- Chemical exposure
- Natural gas explosions
- Structure fires
- Electrocution
- Improperly stored combustibles
- Motorcycle accidents
- Workplace explosions
- Scalding liquids
- Exposure to low-temperature object (cold burn).
Emotional Impact of Burn Injuries
Burn injuries can cause permanent disfigurement and scarring. In addition to the physical injuries that victims suffer, the following emotional affects of burn injuries are common:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Embarrassment
- Mental Anguish
- Post-traumatic stress disorder.
