Child Flame Burns Lawyer
Sustaining a burn injury, no matter how minor or severe, is always a very painful experience and has the potential to leave the victim with permanent scarring. Typically, open flame injuries around the home are relatively minor, but they do have the potential to cause higher-degree burns if the victim is unable to escape the flame in a prompt manner.

Types of Flame Burns
There are several types of flame burns that are relatively common around the home. It is important that you familiarize yourself with these general areas of danger in order to best protect yourself and your family from the hazards they pose. Philadelphia burn injury lawyer Jeffrey Killino, P.C. can help you with injuries caused by:
- Burns from lighters and matches
- Burns from fireplaces
- Burns from candles
- Burns from house fires
Product or construction defects may attribute to injuries sustained from these flame-related items and incidents. A faulty fireplace shield or grate can result in burn injuries. Defective lighters also have the potential to catch the user off-guard with too large a flame, thus resulting in burns on the hand. House fires, caused by malfunctioning home products or even an act of arson poses a much larger threat to the inhabitants. These flames have the potential to claim lives.
How to Protect Yourself against Flame Burns
There are several ways that you can shield your children from this type of injury. Make sure that they are kept well away from any sort of open flame source, such as lighters or matches. Never leave a burning candle alone in a room. If you have a gas-burning stove, never leave the flame uncovered or unattended. Finally, install a smoke detector inside your home to alert you and your family of any house fires that may arise.
