"If you play with fire you get burned," that saying is very true especially, for children.  Children can be curious, and if they are not careful they can get serous burn injuries.  However, it is up to adults to protect children from dangers that can cause serious burns.  Therefore, the negligence of another may be to blame for a child's serious burn injury. There are different types of burn injuries and causes: first-degree burns affect only the outer layer of the skin; second-degree burns affect both the outer and underlying layer of skin; and third-degree burns extend into deeper tissues.

Burns can be caused by dry heat like fire, wet heat such as steam or hot liquids, radiation, friction, heated objects, the sun, electricity, or chemicals.  The most common type of burns are thermal burns, which occur when hot metals, scalding liquids, steam, or flames come in contact with your skin. These are frequently the result of fires, automobile accidents, playing with matches, improperly stored gasoline, space heaters, and electrical malfunctions. Other causes include unsafe handling of firecrackers and kitchen accidents, such as a child climbing on top of a stove or grabbing a hot iron.
