A 15-month-old girl was hospitalized with severe burns after finding a bottle of sulfuric acid inside a Tarrant County home. According to WFAA, the child was taken by air ambulance to Parkland Hospital in Dallas after suffering burns to her abdomen and legs. The Everman Fire Department said the incident happened after the toddler found the chemical in a cabinet under the kitchen sink. Officials said a Tarrant County hazardous materials team responded after first responders learned the child had been burned by sulfuric acid. An Everman firefighter who helped remove the child from the home was also treated for inhalation of chemical fumes and later released. The Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the incident and will determine whether any criminal charges are warranted. Chemical burn injuries involving young children require a thorough investigation. A Texas child injury lawyer can review whether sulfuric acid or another dangerous chemical was improperly stored, left unsecured, mislabeled, accessible to children, or handled in a way that created an unreasonable risk of harm. Evidence can disappear quickly after a chemical exposure incident. Chemical bottles, labels, safety data sheets, purchase records, storage conditions, photographs, medical records, emergency response reports, witness statements, 911 calls, hazmat testing, and property records may all be critical to determining what happened and who may be responsible. If your child was injured in a Tarrant County chemical burn accident, sulfuric acid exposure, hazmat incident, or Texas premises liability case, your family may have the right to seek justice and pursue compensation for medical expenses, burn treatment, pain and suffering, scarring, disfigurement, future care needs, and other damages.

Child Airlifted After Tarrant County Hazmat Incident
A hazardous materials incident in Tarrant County injured three people and led to a child being airlifted to the hospital. According to WFAA, officials responded to the 5100 block of Wilson Road after a reported hazmat situation. Early reports indicated that three people were injured, including a child who was flown for emergency medical treatment. The cause of the incident remains under investigation. Hazmat incidents can cause serious injuries, especially when children, residents, workers, or visitors are exposed to dangerous chemicals or toxic substances. A Texas injury lawyer can review whether improper chemical storage, unsafe handling, poor ventilation, negligent maintenance, equipment failure, workplace safety violations, premises hazards, or another preventable factor contributed to the injuries. Evidence can disappear quickly after a hazardous materials incident. Chemical records, safety data sheets, inspection reports, maintenance logs, air quality testing, emergency response reports, medical records, witness statements, surveillance footage, 911 calls, and property records may all be critical to determining what happened and who may be responsible. If you or your loved one was injured in a Tarrant County hazmat incident, chemical exposure accident, toxic substance release, or Texas premises liability case, you may have the right to seek justice and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, future care needs, and other damages.
