Negligent Burn Injuries

While many burn injuries occur at the hands of the individual, there are many that do not. Understanding whether you have a claim is an important first step in initiating the legal process. There are many types of burn injuries one can face.

  • Fire Burns. Malfunctioning equipment can lead to a fire that burns the operator. Fire alarms and lack of access to other safety precautions subject a person to even greater dangers. Fire burns are among the most impactful to an individual’s body since flames move and spread quickly.
  • Electrical Burns. Live wires are common causes of electric burns. These can occur on your personal property or at a construction site. Injured people may face heart attack, brain injuries, skin burns, and injury to internal organs. If the shock is severe enough, electric burns may even result in death.

Degree of Burn Injuries

Almost everyone has felt the searing pain of sitting on a hot car seat or touching a hot stove. The solutions to the pain response are easy to implement. Cold compresses and keeping the blistering wound clean are common at-home treatments. However, more serious burns may necessitate a visit to the emergency room Since the degree of burn injuries vary, your compensation and time commitment to a lawsuit will depend on the nature of your injuries.

  • First-Degree Burns: The least serious of all burns, first-degree burns are more manageable in nature from a medical and legal perspective. Medical treatments are not always part of healing. However, you can pursue a claim for first-degree burns if your property was damaged or you incurred other losses.
  • Second-Degree Burns. Second-degree burns are more painful than the former since they touch the second, sensitive layer of skin. They present in the form of blisters. Scarring may or may not occur in the future. Medical treatment is required especially for more severe cases covering larger areas of the body.
  • Third-Degree Burns. Third-degree burns are more impactful to the individual. It is this level of injury that results in extreme disfigurement and limited mobility. Most third-degree burns tend to kill the nerves under the skin meaning that victims will not be able to experience sensation in that area during the future. It is the most serious of burn injuries and relies upon heavy medical intervention.
