What Causes Burn Injuries?
Burn injuries are caused by exposure to one of the following: fire/heat, electricity, chemicals and radiation.
People routinely come into contact with at least one of these four causes on a regular basis, which is one of the reasons burn injuries are so common.
The following are examples of how burn injuries can occur:
- Automobile accidents: Contrary to the movies, cars do not explode after a collision. However, car fires are a very real danger if there are defective parts, like the gas tank.
- Truck accidents: Gasoline, oil and even propane are frequently transported in commercial trucks. If involved in an accident, these tanks can explode.
- Workplace accidents: People who work on construction or industrial sites frequently come into contact with electrical wires, flames and dangerous chemicals. Burn injuries frequently occur because OSHA guidelines aren’t followed or equipment is defective.
- Defective consumer products: Gas stoves, BBQ grills and other household products can easily catch fire if designed poorly or built with defective material.
- Aviation accidents: Jet fuel is highly flammable and burns at tremendously high temperatures. If an aircraft catches fire, those inside or nearby can suffer serious burns.
- Medical malpractice: Some commonly used medical equipment relies on small amounts of radiation. If used improperly, the patient can suffer radiation burns.
