Burn Injuries Caused by a Drunk Driving Accidents

Approximately 2.4 million people suffer a burn injury in the United States every year. About 650,000 of these are serious enough to require professional medical treatment, and 75,000 require hospitalization. One of the ways that a burn injury can be sustained is in a drunk driving accident. An innocent motorist can be struck by a drunk driver causing his car to catch on fire, and suffer burns as a result. These injuries can be amongst the most painful and traumatic an individual can experience, and they have the potential to cripple one's ability to function normally for a considerable length of time. The severity of the damage that can be caused in a burn injury covers a broad spectrum, from first degree burns that inflict only superficial damage, to third degree burns that can completely disfigure the victim. Smoke inhalation from the burning vehicle can also cause injury, as the superheated gasses can burn the windpipe and lungs when inhaled. If you have suffered a burn injury due to being struck by a drunk driver and are seeking compensation from the parties responsible, a Denver burn injury attorney may be able to help you obtain a fair settlement to cover the damages suffered.
