According to the American Burn Association, 2.4 million burn
injuries require medical attention each year. Of the victims, 75,000
require hospitalization – half of those in a specialized burn unit. Up
to12,000 burn injury victims die annually.

of recovery are staggering. Months of hospitalization may be required,
and victims frequently require extensive counseling to overcome the
trauma. At McElyea & Barnard, P.A., an Orlando, Florida
