How does the 2nd Noble truth explain the cause of suffering-as-suffering (e.g. resulting from a severe burn)?

I would like to ask question regarding the 4 Noble Truths. The second Noble Truth broadly speaking is that suffering is a result of craving, aversion and ignorance. I can see how this can been seen as a cause of suffering-as-change (*Viparinama-dukkha*), and suffering-as-conditions (*Sankhara-dukkha*); but can not relate craving, aversion and ignorance to suffering-as-suffering (*Dukkha-dukkha*). For example how can the cause of suffering resulting from a severe burn be explained by those three factors?
