- Negligence of property owners
- Explosions

San Francisco Personal Injury Lawyer: Burn Injury Claims
Generally, the larger the surface of the body affected by the burn injury, the higher the chances of a fatal burn injury. The least serious type of burn affects only the outer layer of skin, the epidermis. Extremely serious burns involve damage to the deeper layers of skin. This type of burn can extend as deep as bone and muscle tissue and will cause permanent scarring. Treatment can cost thousands of dollars. Burn patients have a high risk of contracting an infection or other complication, and suffer greatly during the process of healing after such an injury.
