Child Contact Burns Attorney
Contact burns, also known as thermal burns, occur when hot objects come in contact with the skin. These burns may be caused by a variety of objects, including:
- Burns from Stoves and Ovens
- Burns from Curling Irons/Hair Curlers
- Burns from Space Heaters/Room Heaters/Radiators
- Burns from Irons
- Burns from Fireworks
Unfortunately, children are particularly at risk for these types of burns. Often times, kids may not know that a particular object is hot. By the time they realize what they’ve touched, a serious burn may have occurred. If your child has come in contact with a hot object due to the negligence of another individual, it is important that this person be held responsible for their actions.

Contact Burn Treatment
If a contact burn is severe, you will need to seek immediate medical care for your child. A physician will need to examine the burn in order to determine its seriousness and develop a treatment strategy. The physician may prescribe medication including antibiotics in order to prevent infection. In more extreme cases, a skin graft may be required.
