Chemical Burns

There are a number of possible sources of a burn other than direct contact with heat or flame. For example, there are chemicals which can cause significant burns when they come into contact with a person’s skin. The resulting injuries are termed chemical burns and can be just as serious as those associated with fire. Depending upon the severity of the burn, a victim may require emergency medical treatment, a prolonged hospital stay, and ongoing therapies at substantial costs.

If you have suffered a chemical burn due to the negligence of another party, you may be entitled to financial compensation. Contact the New Jersey personal injury attorneys of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., to discuss your potential case with a skilled and experienced lawyer. Call us at 800-346-5529 today.

Beware of Chemical Burns

The hazardous nature of many chemicals is underscored by the great pains that are taken to ensure that they are properly stored, safely transported, and in some cases they may only be made available to persons with appropriate clearance or licensure. Contact with or exposure to some chemicals may produce horrific injuries, and may even prove to be fatal. Chemical burns are a more widespread risk in the following locations:

  • Research facilities
  • Hospitals
  • Science labs
  • Janitorial supply closets
  • Retailers of chemical compounds

Construction sites also present a degree of chemical burn danger. Cement burns are caused by a chemical reaction that occurs when the powder of the cement is mixed with water, generating tremendous heat.
