Burn Injuries
Severe burns can be some of the worst injuries, causing physical, emotional, and financial consequences that last a lifetime. Not only are the burns themselves incredibly painful, but the treatments are equally as painful and the injuries can be disfiguring and debilitating even when fully healed. Burns are one of the most expensive types of injuries to treat, often requiring repeated surgeries, skin grafting, plastic surgery to address scarring, and physical or occupational therapy to regain use of the burned area. Some burn victims also require therapy to address the toll burns can have on a person’s self-image due to scarring.
