Helping Burn Victims Fight for Maximum RecoveryAccording to 2014 data reported by the American Burn Association, the majority of burn injuries occur in the home, while the workplace is the second most likely place to be burned. Regardless of where the burn injury occurs, if you suspect that negligence contributed to the injury, you may be entitled to compensation. Although surgical techniques such as skin grafting may improve the appearance and state of burned skin, skin therapy is a costly process requiring specialized care.
