Fires can cause two types of serious injuries: smoke inhalation and burns. Victims of fire-related injuries may be able to claim compensation if they can demonstrate that another party’s negligent or wrongful act caused their injuries.

Smoke Inhalation

Any smoke you inhale will contain particles and/or chemicals that can cause severe irritation in your lungs from partially burned materials that contain carbon. The exact composition of the smoke depends on the substance that is burning. In addition to the irritating particles, smoke contains carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and other chemicals, which may include benzene, toluene, styrene, acidic gases, sulfur dioxide, hydrocarbons, metals, dioxins, or nitrogen oxides, and aldehydes.

If you have a health condition that affects your heart or lungs, you will probably be more vulnerable to health problems after inhaling smoke.

Wildfire smoke often remains in the air for days or weeks. It will usually contain particulate material that irritates the lungs, even though it may not be visible. It is the smallest particles that are most likely to have a negative effect on your health, especially causing lung damage and difficulty breathing, asthma, and worsening heart disease.

Burn Injuries

Burns are among the most painful and disfiguring of all injuries. Common causes of burns include car accidents that cause gas leaks that catch on fire; electrical burns, which typically have a clear entry and exit point cause damage and scarring to the skin, internal damage, and sometimes cardiac arrest; burning buildings; contact with caustic chemicals; gas explosions; and contact with steam or scalding liquids. In the United States, approximately 450,000 people suffer burn injuries every year, and 3500 of these victims die from their burns.

Burn injuries are often the result of the negligence, carelessness, or deliberate wrongful act of some individual, business, or other entity, for example when another person causes a car accident, or when a utility company fails to properly maintain electrical equipment and sparks a wildfire.
