Chemical burns occur due to direct contact with a corrosive substance either at home, on the road, or at the workplace. Killeen's economy is fueled by diverse industries, including product manufacturing, aerospace technology, and more. Chemical burns at the workplace can have long lasting effects on victims, including permanent or continuing pain, lost wages, medical bills, and more.

Chemical burns most often occur due to direct skin contact with household or workplace substances such as bleach, battery acid, ammonia, drain cleaners, pool chemicals, metal cleaners, fertilizers, paint thinners, and concrete mix. Keep in mind that if you've been injured at work, but your employer has workers' compensation insurance, you may not be able to make a case against your employer to cover your damages. However, the Killeen chemical burn injury attorneys at Carabin Shaw may be able to make a case against a manufacturer of a faulty product or a specific person who was responsible for the accident.

Chemical burns are often deep burns and symptoms of a chemical burn vary depending on the following factors:

• how long the skin was in contact with the chemical
• whether the chemical was touched, swallowed, or inhaled
• whether there was broken skin during contact with the chemical
• the contact location on the victim's body
• the amount and strength of the chemical
• whether the chemical was in a gaseous, liquid, or solid state

If you've suffered a severe injury due to the negligence of another party or person, Killeen burn injury attorneys can help you determine the course of action you should take to recoup damages.

General and common symptoms of chemical burns include:

• skin that appears black or dead
• irritation, redness, or burning in the area that came in contact with the chemical
