Common Causes of Burn Injuries

The most common causes of burn injury include industrial accidents, building explosions, cooking accidents, chemical spills, and electrical accidents.

Many people sustain burn injuries from such things as excessively hot coffee purchased at a restaurant, negligence by a property manager, water heaters set too high, defective products, and careless smoking.

Types of Burn Injuries

There are four types of burn injuries, from the first to the fourth degree. Generally a first or second degree burn will heal with a bit of time and the proper care and treatment. Third and fourth degree burn injuries are very dangerous and serious. Third and fourth degree burns can result in permanent disfigurement and painful scarring. In some cases, third and fourth degree burns can lead to death.

Burn injuries that, on the surface, may seem minor are often more dangerous than people realize. Chemicals can burn not only the skin, but also the lungs if they are inhaled. Also, the chance of a burn becoming infected is extremely high.
The side effects of burn injuries can include muscle damage, bone loss, blood vessel damage, neurological damage, skin scarring, and loss of feeling at the burn site.
