Burn Accidents.

More than one million Americans per year suffer burns of different types and degrees.  Those statistics are provided by the Center for Disease Control.  Half of these burn victims are children who are under 4 years of age.  That means a half million of our preschoolers are suffering every year.  Burns result from a myriad of events such as direct sun, chemicals, fire, explosion, hot liquids, etc.

Commonly, we see severe burns occur as the result of an automobile accident.  In addition, when gas or fuel explodes burns will most often result.  Electrical and industrial accidents lead to damaging burns as well.  And many of us have suffered when scalding hot liquid has been spilled on our person causing varying degrees of burns.

If, heaven forbid, a severe burn has occurred to you or a loved one and you feel that you are entitled to compensation act quickly.  It would be nice to know that in Albuquerque and the Great Southwest the man who won the McDonald’s Hot Coffee Case is at your service.  How about that!  Pick up the phone and call Attorney Ken Wagner at (505) 242-6300.
