Oil burns are very serious. Not only do fires and blasts send material and debris flying through the air, it also sends hot oil in every direction. Oil burns skin very quickly and is very difficult to remove. Because it is so combustible, it is also difficult to put out.

 

Burns happen when trucks, tanks, refineries, wells and pipelines catch fire and explode. They also can happen because of defective electrical equipment or during construction site accidents. Oil burns can even happen at home because of faulty heating equipment.

 

Survivors of oil burns often face disfigurement, debilitating pain, and must undergo skin grafts and other surgical procedures. Recovery takes a great deal of time and money. If you or a loved has been injured by an oil burn, contact a personal injury attorney immediately. It costs nothing to discuss your case, and an expert attorney can fast track you to getting the medical and financial compensation you deserve.
