1
Chemical Burns Might Occur After a Car Wreck
2
  • Being involved in a car wreck comes with several
    risks. Many people dont think about things like
    gasoline, battery acid or vehicle fluids after
    the crash. This can be a big challenge because
    many of these can lead to chemical burns.

3
Risks That Can Lead To Problems
  • Even some of the things that you dont think will
    cause problems if you are subjected to prolonged
    exposure. For this reason, getting the substances
    off your skin is a priority after the accident.
    This can pose a challenge because there might be
    a lack of water and some chemicals might not be
    easy to remove just by rinsing.

4
First Aid for Exposure
  • Even if you dont think that the substance is
    injuring you, removing it must be a priority.
    Dont cover the area up since this may trap heat,
    which could make the chemical burn worse. The
    exact first aid you need depends on the chemical,
    the area of exposure, the duration of contact and
    the condition of the area.

5
Symptoms of a Chemical Burn
  • You are likely going to experience burning and
    redness at the site of the contact. You may see
    blisters or feel pain. If the chemical gets into
    your eyes, your vision might be altered. If you
    breathe it in, you might have shortness of breath.

6
  • If you are involved in a car crash, you should
    try to ensure that you arent putting yourself at
    risk of suffering this type of injury. Be careful
    where you touch and try to stop your eyes from
    coming into contact with car accident attorney in
    Kansas city at Peddicord Townsend LLC.

7
  • The recovery from a chemical burn can be
    challenging, especially when it covers a large
    area of the body or is severe. If you are dealing
    with this type of injury after a car wreck, you
    might opt to pursue a claim for compensation
    against the person or parties who caused the
    accident.
