On Monday, January 6, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel said firefighters found a body in a car after putting out a fire on I-75, just before rush hour in Weston.  

The most common injuries which come to mind when thinking about vehicle and motorcycle accidents are broken bones, scrapes, cuts, head injuries, internal injuries, and knee traumas. However, in some accidents, victims suffer burns.

There are three types of burns that can occur:

1. First-degree burns damage the top layer of skin.
2. Second-degree burns reach the second layer and involve more intense pain and blistering.
3. Third-degree burns involve all the layers of skin and permanently damage tissue, blood vessels, and nerves.

Vehicle burn injuries can occur in many ways, including, but not limited to:

• Contact with dangerous chemicals
• Airbag deployment
• Electrocution or contact with a live current
• Exposure to steam, hot metal, or other debris
• Car explosions and fires

Some burns may heal quickly, but others may require intensive and ongoing medical care and/or permanent disfigurement. Victims may recover compensation for past and future medical care expenses, past and future lost wages, past and future pain and suffering, and past and future loss of enjoyment of life.
