Understanding the Degrees of Burns
Burn injuries are classified by degrees, each representing the severity of tissue damage. The following are the most common degrees of burns:
- First-degree burns affect only the outer layer of skin, causing minimal damage.
- Second-degree burns damage the outer layer and the layer underneath.
- Third-degree burns extend into the deeper tissue, causing severe damage.
- Fourth-degree burns involve all layers of the skin and underlying tissue.
Understanding the degree of burn can help determine the best possible treatment and also how to proceed with legal action.
How Burn Injuries Can Impact Your Life
The impact of burn injuries extends far beyond the physical pain. Burn victims can experience any of the following consequences:
- Chronic pain can persist long after the initial injury.
- Scarring and disfigurement that may require multiple surgeries to address.
- Emotional trauma, including PTSD.
- Loss of mobility resulting from scar tissue and joint damage.
- Job loss and financial strain if the victim is unable to return to work.
- Social isolation as victims may feel self-conscious about their appearance.
- Long-term medical care, including physical therapy and counseling.
Each of these impacts can be a valid point for claiming compensation. That’s why we always recommend having your case reviewed by our burn injury experts.
Who Can File a Burn Injury Claim?
Anyone who has suffered burns due to another party’s negligence may be able to file a claim. This includes individuals who have been injured in workplace accidents where safety protocols were neglected, victims of residential fires resulting from landlord negligence or faulty products, those injured by defective products that overheated or ignited, or even people injured in car accidents caused by vehicle malfunctions leading to fire. If you’re unsure whether you can file a claim, all you need to do is contact us for a free case review.
