| خلاصه مقاله | Purpose : Burn injuries pose significant medical and legal challenges, particularly concerning
compensation, liability, and policy. This study aims to systematically review existing literature
to elucidate the legal aspects associated with burn injuries, focusing on compensation
mechanisms, liability determinations, and relevant policy frameworks.
Methods : A comprehensive systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA
guidelines. Databases including PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar were searched for
articles published between 2000 and 2024. Keywords such as “burn injuries,” “legal liability,”
“compensation,” and “policy” were utilized. Inclusion criteria encompassed studies addressing
legal outcomes of burn injuries, while exclusion criteria filtered out articles lacking legal
context or relevance.
Results : Out of 1,200 articles identified, 45 met the inclusion criteria. Among these, 60% (27
studies) focused on compensation mechanisms, 40% (18 studies) examined liability issues,
and 35% (16 studies) analyzed policy frameworks. The review revealed significant disparities
in compensation amounts, with variations ranging from $5,000 to $500,000, influenced by
jurisdiction and severity of injury. Liability determinations were often complicated by factors
such as workplace safety standards and product defects. Policy analyses indicated a lack of
standardized legal frameworks, leading to inconsistent outcomes for burn injury victims.
Conclusion : The legal landscape surrounding burn injuries is fragmented and lacks uniformity,
resulting in disparities in victim compensation and legal accountability. There is a pressing
need for standardized legal frameworks to ensure equitable treatment of burn injury cases.
Future research should focus on comparative legal analyses to inform policy development and
harmonization of legal standards. |
