Common Causes of Electrocution & Burn Injuries
The epidermis (skin) is the largest organ of a human being. When electricity or fire makes contact with your skin, it can cause severe damage. When an individual suffers from a first-degree, second-degree, or third-degree burns, the skin can be heavily damaged, which can lead to further complications with muscle tissues and the skeletal system. Additionally, smoke inhalation causes damage to the lungs and internal organs.
Burn injuries are often the result of:
- Electrocution
- Thermal burns
- Motor vehicle fires
- Arson
- Water heater fires
- Gas fume ignition
- Defective gas tanks (propane tanks, butane tanks)
- Building fires
- Gasoline explosions
- Chemical burns
- Flammable clothing
- Scolds and burns from hot liquid or boiling waters
- Gasoline spills
- Faulty equipment
- Faulty electrical wires
- Flammable liquid
- Inadequate maintenance
- Improper storage
- Defective products
Defective products are a major cause of electrocution and burn injuries. Consumer products—such as household appliances, consumer electronics, toasters, microwaves, stoves, ovens, dishwashers, washing machines and dryers, blow dryers, propane tanks, and gasoline canisters—can all be potential causes for burns or electrocution. Those burnt or electrocuted as a result of a defective product may have a viable product liability claim against the negligent manufacturer.
What To Do If You Suffered Severe Burns
It is highly suggested that you seek prompt medical attention if you suffer serious burn injuries. If you have been burned or suffered an electrical accident that resulted in bodily harm, you are encouraged to take all the precautionary steps to treat your injury.
