Facts about auto accident burn injuries in Florida

On Behalf of Wieland & DeLattre | Oct 27, 2022 | Auto Accident |

If you get injured in an auto accident, the injuries you sustain can be very serious. One of the most common types of injuries sustained in motor vehicle accidents is a burn injury.

Common types of burns in motor vehicle accidents

Thermal burns are a type of burns that are caused by exposure to heat or fire. Thermal burns can be very painful and may require surgery to heal properly. These often occur when the car catches fire after an accident. Chemical burns are another type of burn that occurs when chemicals come into contact with the skin, often as a result of a motor vehicle accident. Chemical burns can be very painful and may require medical attention. Last but not least, electrical burns can also occur when an electrical current comes into contact with the skin.

Treatment for burn injuries

If you have sustained a burn injury in an auto accident, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Depending on the severity of the burn, you may need to get hospitalized and treated with pain medication. In some cases, surgery may also be necessary to treat the burn.

Short and long-term effects of burn injuries

One of the most common short-term effects of sustaining a burn injury is pain. Burns can also cause skin irritation, redness, and swelling. In more severe cases, burns can lead to scarring and disfigurement. Long-term effects of burn injuries can include nerve damage, joint stiffness and chronic pain. In severe cases, amputation may also be necessary.

If you have been injured in an auto accident, you may be able to seek compensation for your injuries. If the accident was caused by another driver’s negligence, you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit against that driver. Just remember that you may need evidence, which could include medical records and police reports, to prove your case.
