The American Burn Association estimates that there are more than 1 million burn injuries every year. These injuries are estimated to result in 700,000 emergency room visits per year, 45,000 hospitalizations and 4,500 deaths annually. At the Scanlan Law Group, we have extensive experience in burn injury cases, and we know how traumatic these cases can be.

Burn injuries are particularly traumatic not only because of the severe pain they can inflict, but also the permanent cosmetic disfigurement and life-long emotional distress that are associated with many burn injuries, and the need for long-term medical care to treat burn victims. As skin grafts do not grow, burn injury victims typically require multiple surgeries and skin grafts to replace tissue damaged by burns.

Burns can be caused by many sources: faulty electrical equipment and wiring, hazardous cleaning supplies and chemicals, defective children's toys and clothing, vehicle fuels and additives, cigarettes and cigars, motor vehicle crashes, industrial explosions, and even hot beverages, baths, and showers.

The attorneys of the Scanlan Law Group have more than 25 years of experience in representing individuals with severe burn injuries. We understand the complex science and medicine that is often involved in these cases, and we know the right experts for your case.
