Each year in the United States, 1.1 million burn injuries require medical treatment.  Of those treated, approximately 50,000 burn injuries require hospitalization and approximately 4,500 people die each year from burns in the United States while up to 10,000 people die each year in the United States from burn related infections.

Many times extremely painful as well as disfiguring, serious burns bring a host of problems.  The majority of burns are related to residential fires, but other causes include motor vehicle accidents, aircraft crashes, contact with chemicals, electricity, or hot liquids/substances.  

If you or a loved one was seriously burned as a result of the negligence of someone else, you need an attorney experienced in handling burn cases.  Contact the Kisselburgh Law Firm at 601-936-4040 or contact us online to discuss your case today.
