Chemical burns can be quite traumatic, and often leave victims with lifelong scars or permanent disabilities.

We're available 24/7 at 1-800-ATTORNEY to take your call.
A person can suffer a chemical burn when he or she touches or otherwise comes into contact with a harmful or caustic chemical substance. This can occur in several ways which include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following:
Many industrial jobs put workers in close proximity to dangerous chemicals. These jobs can include oil refining, oil and gas drilling (including fracking), construction, and of course those who work in chemical plants.
Some of the most common chemical burn injuries occur due to exposure to the following:

Sometimes accidents happen, but the truth is that occupational chemical burns most often occur due to an employer's disregard for employee safety. Your employer may be liable for your injuries if they fail to properly train employees to handle toxic materials or if they fail to follow OSHA regulations on toxic and hazardous substances.
You may be legally barred from filing a lawsuit against your employer if state-run workers' compensation is available, but this is something that your personal injury attorney will investigate and explain to you.
Damages related to chemical burns.Some of the symptoms a person might expect from a chemical burn include red or bluish skin and lips, problems breathing, seizures, feeling of weakness, abdominal pain, unconsciousness, itching, swelling and pain at the site of contact, rash and/or hives, nausea, vomiting, and headache.
Most chemical burns will leave the victim with permanent scars, disfigurement, and can sometimes lead to nerve and/or brain damage. You deserve to be compensated for for ALL damages related to your injury, and our attorneys will fight aggressively for every penny you deserve. You deserve to be compensated for medical bills (both past and future), any resulting lost wages, disfigurement, as well as pain and suffering.
