Child Chemical Burn Attorney
The dangers of allowing a child near open flames or hot liquids are widely understood. However, the dangers of toxic chemicals in the household are just as severe, even though they rarely receive the same level of attention. Chemical burns can cause life-long health problems for children, especially when they affect sensitive areas like the eyes or lungs.
Childhood chemical burns are almost always preventable. If your child has suffered one of these painful injuries because of a negligent caregiver or corporation, child chemical burn lawyer Jeff Killino will fight for your family. Call our offices at 877-875-2927 to learn how we can help you.
Avoidable Tragedies
Children are most likely to suffer severe chemical burns in the home. The leading causes of these painful injuries are faulty product packaging and inadequate supervision. Sudden explosions of electrical or heating products can also cause children to be splashed with dangerous chemicals.
It is vitally important for all potentially dangerous products to be correctly stored in clearly marked containers at the recommended temperatures. Common products that are widely associated with childhood chemical burns include:
- Drain or oven cleaners
- Battery acid
- Motor vehicle fluids, such as windshield wiper fluid or antifreeze
- Bleach (particularly when mixed with ammonia)
Chemical Burn Consequences
All chemical burns require immediate medical attention. A severe chemical burn can have tragic consequences for an innocent child, including:
- Permanent scarring or disfigurement
- Vision impairment or even the loss of an eye
- The spread of dangerous infections
Child chemical burn lawyer Jeff Killino is an aggressive advocate for the rights of children who have suffered these terrible consequences. If your child has been the victim of a chemical burn due to the negligence of a corporation or caretaker, our legal team will fight for you.
