We often think of burn injuries resulting from a fire. Yet there are many ways that people may be injured, such as:

• Automobile accident – People may be burned if the vehicle catches fire after an accident. If the accident force causes the airbags to deploy, accident victims may suffer severe burns from the bags' chemicals.
• Scalding liquids – Coffee, tea, or soup served at an excessively high temperature can cause painful burns if they are spilled on a patron or the lids securing them aren't adequately attached.
• Defective or Poorly Manufactured Products – People expect the products that they buy to be safe. However, if the product heats up too fast or at an excessively high temperature, skin that comes in contact with the product may be severely burned. In other cases, if a product ends up being flammable when it shouldn't be, it may cause a fire. A product that uses batteries known to overheat or explode can result in a severe burn injury.
• Electrical burns – Poor wiring, overloaded outlets, and downed wires may result in a person being electrocuted if they come into close contact with these dangerous items.

If you are suffering from burn injuries, you may be entitled to recover damages to pay for your medical treatment and the wages you lost if you can't work. You may also be awarded damages to compensate you for the pain and suffering endured. If you've been permanently scarred or disfigured because of a burn injury, you may be entitled to additional damages.

Miami ranks as one of the top tourist destinations in the country. With over 23 million visitors in 2018, people flock to this vibrant city to soak up the sun and experience its diverse culture. Whether it is soaking in South Beach's nightlife or strolling through the shops at Coconut Grove, Miami offers something for everyone. Miami is filled with art galleries, museums, and outdoor parks. For those who enjoy dining out, Miami is a melting pot of international cuisine.

With a population reaching just over 300 people, the city of Miami was incorporated in 1896. Over time, Miami has experienced tremendous growth. Beyond its tourist ties, Miami has a thriving business district, sleepy residential communities, and a host of recreational activities.
