Burn Injury

Raleigh, Durham, Goldsboro, Greenville, Kinston, Lumberton, Fayetteville, Rocky Mount, and Tarboro, North Carolina Work Place Injury

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) estimates that over 200 American workers are killed every year due to burn injuries sustained at the workplace. An additional 500 employees are seriously injured by workplace burn injuries, requiring extensive hospitalization and long-term medical treatment. Burn injuries are one of the most common Workers’ Compensation claims, injuring a large number of North Carolina workers every year.

Common Causes of Burn Injuries

Burn injuries can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

• Electrocution
• Radiation
• Chemical burns
• Fires

Although burn injuries are most common in construction and machining environments, no workplace is entirely safe from the potential for burn injuries. People in several types of industries – including retail and roofing – can be at risk for this type of injury. Sadly, many burn injuries could have been avoided if proper training and equipment maintenance had been observed.

Rehabilitation from Burn Injuries

Serious burns can have devastating, life-long effects on their victims. The limited movement caused by burn injuries may require multiple surgeries, and some level of permanent disfigurement is almost guaranteed. When a worker suffers a serious burn injury at the workplace, the rehabilitation costs can be astronomical. In addition, you may never be able to return to your previous position, since full recovery from a burn injury is not always possible.
