Is there a Burn Injury in Your Family?
Burn injuries are the third highest cause of death in the United States. Worldwide burn injuries cause 300,000 deaths annually. For those who survive, they are debilitating emotionally and physically and are among the most expensive to treat. Nearly half of burn injuries are suffered in child injury cases to innocent victims under age 18. The second largest affected group is the elderly.
