Burn Injuries

If you have suffered a burn injury, you have a rough road ahead of you both physically and psychologically. Burns are one of the toughest injuries to recover from, and if you have suffered a burn injury, you need to speak to our personal injury attorney.

Burns can be caused by:

• Extreme Heat
• Flames
• Electricity
• Radiation
• Gas
• Chemicals

Burn injuries are classified depending on how much of the body is covered in burns and the depth of those burns. First-degree burns are minor, while third degree burns are the most serious even life threatening and require emergency medical intervention.

First-degree burns affect the outer layer of skin and can result in redness and burning. Second-degree burns affect the first and second layers. Third degree burns affect all layers of skin, and can damage muscle, bone, and fat. The skin itself can appear black and leathery, and they can cause the victim to go into shock. Because of the damage to the nerve endings third degree burns can be excruciating.

When the skin becomes damaged by a burn, the body is unable to maintain its body temperature, and it can affect respiration, the ability of your joints to function, result in fluid imbalance, interfere with dexterity, and affect one's appearance. You may be surprised to learn that burn victims endure the pain and the trauma, but they have the most difficulty when it comes to the scaring and the changes to their physical appearance. And sometimes burn injuries end with a wrongful death.
