Serving victims of serious burns / burn injury:

Personal injuries, burn accidents
Over 2 million burn injuries are reported every year in the United States, with many of these being serious injuries requiring hospitalization. Burns can vary in severity, with sunburns and burns that involve minimal tissue damage categorized as first-degree burns.
Second-degree burns affect both the outer-layer (epidermis) and the underlying layer of skin (dermis) causing redness, pain, swelling and blisters. These burns often affect sweat glands, and hair follicles. If a deep second-degree burn is not properly treated, swelling and decreased blood flow in the tissue can result in the burn becoming a third-degree burn. Third-degree burns are the most serious, with charring of skin and numbness present. Third-degree burns typically result in extensive scarring.
Heat inhalation and smoke inhalation injuries are also common when burn damage is suffered. All of these injuries can take a long time to be treated and healed.
Car accident injuries, including vehicle fires and airbag injuries, often involve severe burns. Dangerous chemicals and fires in the workplace are also common causes of severe burn injuries. Fires also can occur as a result of the negligence of a property owner or landlord.
