Have You Experienced One of These Types of Burns?

When we think about burn accidents, we often imagine thermal burns caused by hot objects. But several more types of burns can be a result of negligent behavior. As our burn injury attorneys build your case, we’ll determine the type of burn you have and why it occurred. The most common types of burns include the following:

  • Thermal: This type of burn occurs from touching an extremely hot object, such as a stove, flames, or liquid. When you encounter a scalding surface or item, the skin’s temperature rises, and the cells start to die.
  • Chemical: You might receive this type of burn from encountering acids or solvents that haven’t been stored securely.
  • Electrical: Electrical appliances can burn you if you touch the electrical current.
  • Radiation: The sun, x-ray machines, and certain medical therapies can potentially give you radiation burns.
  • Cold: This type of burn, also known as frostbite, occurs when someone is exposed to freezing temperatures for too long.

Understanding Burn Levels

While building your case, our burn injury lawyers also need to find out how bad the burn is. We typically refer to different levels of burns in terms of “degrees.” First and second-degree burns are painful, but higher-tier burns quickly become even more dangerous to your health. Here’s a brief overview of how to identify each degree burn:

  • First-Degree: These milder burns are typically confined to the outer layer of skin. While they may be painful, like a minor sunburn, first-degree burns are not life-threatening and don’t cause blisters.
  • Second-Degree: After a second-degree burn, the outer layer and the layer underneath the skin are damaged. The skin often appears red and begins to blister. Depending on the severity of these burns, you may have long-term scarring.
  • Third-Degree: Third-degree burns are not red as first, and second-degree burns are but may instead appear black, brown, or yellow. These burns can damage two whole layers of skin, as well as nerve endings.
  • Fourth-Degree: These burns are the most severe and can sometimes be life-threatening. Fourth-degree burns damage all skin layers and may even reach the underlying bones and muscles.

Common Burn Injury Accidents

Burn injuries have many different causes. Our burn injury attorneys put together this list of the most common burn injury accidents they deal with.

Burn Injury Consequences

Severe burn accidents can leave you dealing with their consequences for years to come. Not only are burn victims subject to numerous costly surgeries, but they may also experience additional side effects from these procedures. Some patients report excessive bleeding or loss of sensation after burn treatment.

During the lengthy recovery process, you may notice even more adverse effects. Burn victims lose the ability to sweat and become especially sensitive to the sun and hot temperatures. The skin also tends to become extremely dry, discolored, and damaged. In addition to these physical effects, many of our clients are also impacted by the trauma and psychological consequences of a significant injury.

Why You Should Contact a Burn Injury Lawyer

Because burn treatment can be so expensive, we encourage you to seek any compensation you may be eligible for by contacting our firm. Our burn injury lawyers will work to determine if you have a viable case. If you do, we’ll make every effort to get you funding to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and more. Don’t allow a significant burn injury to cause you more suffering than necessary.
