Burn Injuries

The most common types of burns are heat or thermal burns caused by fire, steam, hot objects, or hot liquids (including excessively hot tap water, which is the most common source of burn hospitalizations and one of the leading causes of childhood injuries). Electricity, chemicals, radiation, and friction can also produce burn injuries.

Many burns are caused by the negligent acts of another party, such as improperly regulated tap water, lack of or malfunctioning smoke detectors, and defective products.

Burn victims require both the best medical attention to ensure maximum recovery and the best legal representation to protect their rights. If you or a loved one has suffered a serious burn injury as a result of negligence, the attorneys at Bruce D. Townsend will fight for your rightful compensation.
