What Is a Burn Injury?

A burn injury is caused by damage to the skin and underlying tissues due to heat, chemicals, electricity, radiation, or friction. These injuries can range from minor (affecting only the outer layer of skin) to severe (affecting multiple layers of skin). 

There are various types of burn injuries, such as: 

• Thermal burns caused by excessive heat, such as hot liquids or surfaces, steam, or flame.
• Chemical burns caused by corrosive chemicals, such as battery acid, bleach, or drain cleaners. 
• Electrical burns caused by contact with electrical currents, such as live wires or stun guns. 
• Radiation burns caused by exposure to ultraviolet radiation or X-rays during diagnostic medical imaging or radiotherapy. 
• Friction burns caused by rubbing against a surface, resulting in abrasion and heat generation.

How Do Burn Accidents Occur?

Burn accidents can occur for a variety of reasons. Some potential causes include traffic accidents involving cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, and other motor vehicles. Workplace accidents can also lead to severe burns, especially in high-risk occupations like construction and oilfield work. Additionally, defective products can increase the risk of burn injuries for consumers. 

No matter the cause, consulting a knowledgeable burn injury lawyer is paramount to pursuing compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other losses after a burn accident. Our attorneys have a deep understanding of these legal intricacies to identify negligent parties and pursue a favorable outcome in your case. 

What Are the Different Degrees of Burn Injuries?

Burn injuries are classified under different degrees, with fourth-degree burns being the most severe. These include: 

• First-degree burns only affect the outer layer of skin (epidermis), leading to redness and pain. 
• Second-degree burns affect the layer of skin below the epidermis (dermis), leading to blisters and potential scarring.
• Third-degree burns affect both the epidermis and dermis and often extend into subcutaneous tissue, leading to a white or leathery appearance.
• Fourth-degree burns are the most severe and can extend into muscle and bone, leading to life-threatening injuries in affected individuals.
