Burn injuries are likely the most painful injury a person can sustain. Not only is the injury itself physically and emotionally painful, but the recovery process is often lengthy and painful. It is not uncommon for burn victims to undergo multiple surgeries and skin grafts during their recovery process, each of which is painful and leaves the burn victim prone to life-threatening infections and a lifetime of serious healthcare challenges.

Burn injuries can happen in nursing homes when staff members place residents in scalding water or too close to heaters or during surgery when medical devices malfunction or are improperly used. People can also be burned in accidents involving cars, trucks and motorcycles.

House fires are a significant cause of burn injuries. When smoke detectors fail, families are not warned of fire. The results can be devastating.
