Workplace Chemical Burns MN

Dangerous chemicals in the workplace can expose workers to a high risk of suffering from severe burns. A chemical burn will occur when the skin is exposed to corrosive substances, including the oxidizing acids found in cleaners, from hydrocarbon solvents, and alkalis such as sodium hydroxide and ammonia. Chemical burns are often very painful and can cause severe suffering and serious tissue damage. The severity of the chemical burn will depend on a number of factors, including how long the skin was in contact with the chemical, the extent of the penetration of the chemical, and the concentration of the corrosive chemical in the solution. Workers who get injured by chemical burns in the workplace are advised to consult with an attorney to find out if they can ask for compensation.

The types of burn injuries can be classified as first degree burns, second degree burns, third degree burns, and fourth degree burns. First degree burns involve the least penetration through skin and are the least painful and dangerous, while fourth degree burns occur when the burn has penetrated below the skin and can result into muscle damage and tissue necrosis. Fourth degree burns can be life-threatening if they are not treated as early as possible. Specific chemicals that can cause burns include hydrofluoric acid, cement, sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid, strong alkali, and phosphorus. Workers need to be very careful when handling such chemicals.

Victims of workplace chemical burns resulting from the intentional or negligent acts of other people may be able to get compensation for their losses. The amount of compensation will depend on a number of factors. These include the victim’s pain and suffering, medical care costs, lost wages, and punitive damages. According to personal injury laws, victims are eligible for compensation for the physical and emotional pain that they had to endure. And naturally, they may also be entitled to be reimbursed for their medical care costs, including future medical expenses, such as medications, rehabilitation costs, revision surgeries, and pain management care. And since victims will not be able to work for a certain period of time, they will need to be compensated for the lost wages, including future income losses. And finally, punitive damages may also be awarded by the court in certain circumstances.
