Residential fires are the leading cause of burn-related deaths and injuries. According to the National Fire Protection Association, fires caused more than $15.5 billion in direct property loss in 2008. Fires in residential properties caused $8.6 billion of this property loss. This level of property damage roughly translates to a fire in a residential structure every 78 seconds. Fires lead to significant property loss, large medical bills for burn injuries, and even death, which a victim may be compensated for.

Besides residential fires, many other causes account for burn injuries. Other common causes of serious burn injuries include:

  1. Scalding/ Hot Water
  2. Car Accidents
  3. Electrical Accidents
  4. Industrial Accidents
  5. Gas Explosions

Other common fire-related injuries that may warrant compensation include heat inhalation damage, toxin poisoning damage from systemic toxins, and smoke inhalation damage.
