Accidents involving burin injuries can happen anywhere. From a home fire place to a workplace explosion, a serious burn injury accident can result in devastating physical, emotional, and mental damage. Years of painful recovery and therapy can leave victims and their families facing enormous economic loss. Burn injuries cases can be complex and require an experienced advocate with the knowledge to handle the extensive on-going care issues that can arise.
The following are different types and severities of burn injuries, if you or a loved one have suffered a burn injury we encourage you to seek appropriate medical treatment and to consult with us regarding your legal options. The sooner we can begin investigating your case, the sooner we can begin fighting to hold negligent parties accountable for their actions.
- First Degree Burns– These burns involve minimal tissue damage to the epidermis, or surface layer of skin. Skin will be red, sensitive to touch and appear white if light pressure is applied. This type of burn involves mild pain; a sunburn for example.
- Second Degree Burns– This type of burn affects the surface and underlying layer of skin called the dermis; resulting in redness, swelling and blisters. Second-degree burns can affect sweat glands, hair follicles, lymphatic and blood vessels. As such they can become third-degree burns if not properly treated in time.
- Third Degree Burns– This severe type of burn destroys the skin down to the hypodermis, or lower layer of skin. The burn produces a charred appearance, extreme pain or numbness due to damaged nerves. Third-degree burns result in scarring and may require skin grafts.
- Heat Inhalation– This burn injury involves breathing in heated air near a flame, resulting in burns to upper airways and the lungs. Because steam produces more heat than dry air, inhaling steam can cause burns to the mucus membranes in the nose, the throat and upper portions of the windpipe.
- Smoke Inhalation– While not a burn, smoke inhalation injuries are often masked by lack of burn injuries. Fire smoke contains many toxic substances that can lead to major internal tissue damage, and death. Chemical fires can also result in chemical burns, internal and external.
