burn victim
Thermal injury sufferer
A burn victim is a person who has suffered injury from fire, heat, chemicals, electricity, or radiation.
The term appears frequently in news reports and medical contexts: The burn victim was airlifted to a trauma center.
In figurative use, someone metaphorically burned—by betrayal, a bad deal, or public humiliation—may be called a burn victim: After that investment scam, he's just another burn victim.
