Chemical burns affect not only those in the fields of manufacturing, construction, mining, medicine and chemical fabrication, but also everyday people who end up having their lives forever altered due to inadvertent contact with dangerous substances. These tragic injuries unfortunately occur all too often in the United States. According to the American Burn Association, from 2002 to 2011, chemical burns were the sixth most prevalent type of burn treated at burn centers.

Chemical Burns And Product Liability Cases
In many situations, it is necessary to bring a products liability (defective product) lawsuit in order to have the best chance of recovering full and fair compensation. These matters are typically far more intricate than other cases, as they require extensive investigation in order to hold the manufacturer of injury-causing products liable for the damage they caused.
