Just like any injury area, burn injuries have a range. Numbers are used to detail the injuries, degrees used to indicate the severity of the burn, and percentages of body mass used to indicate the extent of the burns. Being exposed to an uncontrollable fire with the prospect of being burnt is the fear we all harbor. The terrifying prospect yes the very real possibility yes. In many injury situations the possibility becomes more of a probability with the presence of a flammable material such as gasoline with a car accident. Electrical burns are obtained through a connection of an electrical current, either contained in a power line or buried underground. On average 24 deaths/major injuries per year have been suffered by children as a result of overhead electrical systems and the failure of the Federal Railroad Administration to demand appropriate containment and warning systems. On a yearly average, at least 30 people are injured as a result of gas grill fires and explosions. It is impossible to speculate the pain and agony associated with injuries sustained from a fire. There are sure to be as many scars on the inside as there are on the outside. Amputation is at times the only solution for protecting against infection and gangrene on body parts that are beyond repair. Awareness of your surroundings is the most vital information to know. Common sense another when using any type of flammable product. Before using a gas grill, do a safety check looking over all the hoses to see if they have cracks, connections are secure and there are no leaks. NEVER use a gas grill indoors. Make sure children are very aware of the dangers of playing around any areas that harbor electrical wiring and currents of any type. In the event of an injury, immediately seek medical attention! Following up on any treatment prescribed is of equal importance to assure proper treatment has been administered and records are being kept. Retain an experienced lawyer or firm to handle all contact with the insurance company and to assure proper progression of your case.
