What Causes Burn Injuries?
Burn injuries can occur in a wide range of accidents. Common causes include:
- Thermal Burns – Resulting from contact with fire, steam, boiling liquids, or explosions.
- Electrical Burns – Caused by contact with electrical currents, often seen in construction sites, boating accidents, or areas with exposed wiring.
- Chemical Burns – Occur when corrosive substances come into contact with skin, eyes, or internal tissues. These are common in industrial workplaces or household accidents.
Many of these injuries are preventable with proper safety protocols. If you’ve been burned at work or elsewhere, seek medical attention immediately and contact our firm to learn your legal options.
Degrees of Burn Injuries
Burn injuries are classified by severity:
- First-Degree Burns – Affect the outer layer of skin. Symptoms include redness and pain but typically heal quickly.
- Second-Degree Burns – Impact the first and second layers of skin, often causing blisters, swelling, pain, and possible long-term scarring.
- Third-Degree Burns – The most serious, these burns destroy all skin layers and may affect tissue below. Victims often experience nerve damage, discoloration, and require surgical intervention such as skin grafts.
Severe burns can lead to lifelong consequences. Let our team help you pursue compensation for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.
