Chicago Tanning Bed Injury Lawyers

Ultraviolet radiation, more commonly known as UV rays, is a kind of light with shorter wavelengths than the visible spectrum. It is found naturally in sunlight, and can also have man-made sources like black lights or tanning beds. It can be beneficial to health in very small doses, but long term exposure can have disastrous effects.

Tanning beds are one of the most common commercial uses of UV radiation. People who choose to run tanning salons should be fully aware of the risks of their chosen business and take careful steps to avoid hurting their customers. If you have been injured by a careless tanning salon operator, Chicago UV burn attorneys Friedman & Bonebrake, P.C., are ready to help. Call us at 312-466-8200.

The Risks of Ultraviolet Radiation Exposure

Health conditions that can be caused by spending too much time in the sun or tanning bed, or even short periods of exposure in a poorly controlled tanning bed, include:

• Sunburn, a painful condition that may cause the skin to peel or blister
• Eye damage that can cause vision problems
• Malignant melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer

A Chicago ultraviolet burn attorney may be able to help if you have developed any of these problems due to tanning salon negligence, such as:

• Poorly built or installed tanning beds, creating overly intense light
• Failure to monitor the length of time customers spend in the beds
• Failure to alert customers to the potential dangers of tanning
