Common Causes of Burn Injuries

How Do Burn Injuries Happen?

Burn injuries can happen in homes, vehicles, or workplaces — often due to preventable hazards. Our Eugene burn injury attorneys handle cases involving:

  • Apartment or house fires
  • Faulty electrical systems
  • Defective products and flammable materials
  • Restaurant, nightclub, or hotel fires
  • Workplace explosions or chemical burns
  • Truck and tanker accidents
  • Motor vehicle collisions resulting in fire

Strong Law helps victims hold landlords, employers, product manufacturers, and negligent drivers accountable for unsafe conditions or equipment.

Burn Injury Facts

According to FEMA and recent fire injury studies:

  • 50% of residential fires begin in kitchens
  • 30% of all fires occur in homes
  • Oregon saw 60 fire-related deaths in 2019

Common injuries include smoke inhalation, thermal burns, and combinations of both. FEMA also reports:

  • 55% of residential fire injuries are minor
  • 29% are moderate
  • 16% are serious or life-threatening

Our Eugene personal injury team is prepared to investigate your case and help you seek fair compensation.

Common Injuries Suffered in Residential Fires

While most people think of skin damage, fire and burn injuries often go far deeper. According to FEMA:

  • 31.5% of residential fire injuries are internal (inhalation)
  • Upper extremities – 25.1%
  • Multiple body parts – 12.5%
  • Chest and back – 10.4%
  • Head – 9.9%
  • Lower extremities – 8.4%

No matter the area affected, any serious burn can require extensive care. If you or a loved one suffered a burn in a residential building, contact our premises liability lawyers to explore your legal options.

“Unbelievable work!”

"I had a claim involving my own insurance company. I tried to negotiate with them, and they completely denied my claim – two times. I then hired Strong Law, and the change was instant. The insurance company immediately began negotiating, and Jed was able to secure an unbelievably good settlement. I will never again attempt to take-on an insurance company without Strong Law in my corner. Thank you!"

Are You Safe as a Tenant?

Many burn injuries happen in rental homes or apartments where landlords fail to follow fire safety regulations. In Oregon, landlords are legally responsible for:

  • Maintaining safe electrical wiring
  • Installing and testing smoke alarms
  • Providing safe fire escapes and exits
  • Installing fireproof doors when required
  • Keeping hallways and shared spaces clear
  • Providing serviced fire extinguishers

If your landlord failed to meet building codes or install required safety systems, they may be held liable. Even if a fire starts in your unit, they could be responsible under Oregon premises liability law.

If defective safety equipment (e.g., smoke alarms or extinguishers) contributed to your injury, you may also have a product liability claim. Our attorneys can help you explore both angles.

The Difference Between First, Second, and Third-Degree Burns

First-Degree Burns

These affect only the outer layer of skin (epidermis) and often heal without serious complications — similar to a sunburn.

Second-Degree Burns

These reach both the outer and second layers of skin (dermis), often causing blisters, pain, and swelling. Some may require skin grafts or hospital care.

Third-Degree Burns

These damage all skin layers and may affect nerves, tissue, and muscle. Skin grafts and long-term rehabilitation are typically required.

Work-Related Burn Injuries

If you suffered burns in a fire or explosion at work, you may be entitled to both workers’ compensation and a personal injury claim if another party’s negligence played a role.

We are not afraid to challenge insurance companies who try to reduce your claim. Our Eugene work injury attorneys help you recover full compensation while protecting your rights under Oregon law.

The Long-Term Effects of Burn Injuries

Living with Your Pain, but Working to Move Ahead

Burn injuries can result in years of medical treatment and emotional recovery. Victims often face:

  • Permanent scarring or disfigurement
  • Chronic pain and nerve damage
  • Infections and complications
  • Breathing or vision problems
  • Speech or mobility loss
  • Emotional trauma, depression, or anxiety

Many people are unable to return to their previous jobs or maintain relationships due to the physical and psychological impact of their injuries.

Our Eugene catastrophic injury lawyers understand how deeply burn injuries affect every aspect of your life. We’re here to help you fight for compensation that truly supports your recovery and future.

How to Know When You Should File a Burn Injury Lawsuit

Our Eugene attorneys can help you determine if your case qualifies for legal action. Common reasons to file include:

  • Negligent property owners or landlords
  • Defective products or appliances
  • Fires caused by motor vehicle or truck accidents
  • Errors by medical professionals or caregivers
  • Workplace negligence or unsafe job sites

Under Oregon law, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years. You can review the full Oregon statute of limitations online, but don’t wait — early action can make or break your case.

Call our Eugene burn injury lawyers to see if your situation qualifies for legal compensation.

  • Emergency and ongoing medical care
  • Skin grafts and surgical treatment
  • Rehabilitation and long-term care
  • Lost income and future earnings
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
