What are the common causes of burn injuries?

Burn injuries are a type of personal injury that can range from minor to severe. In Florida, these injuries are typically caused by accidents that involve fire, electricity, chemicals, the sun, and/or hot objects. The most common causes of burn injuries are accidents involving fire or heat. Examples of fire-related accidents are welding and soldering accidents, flammable liquids or gasoline explosions, vehicle eruptions, and structure fires. In many cases, these are caused by negligence or intentional wrongdoing. Hot objects, like hot oil, can also cause burns. Accidents involving vehicles or machinery, such as contact with hot surfaces or exhaust pipes, are common causes of hot object-related burns. In such cases, faulty machinery or improper maintenance may be to blame. Chemical burns are another common type of burn injury. These can be caused by exposure to strong acids or bases, such as in industrial accidents. In some cases, improper handling, storage, or disposal can lead to chemical burns. Finally, sunburns are a common cause of burn injury. Too much exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays can cause sunburns that can be painful and cause long-term health problems if they are not treated.
