Burn injuries are among the most painful and devastating injuries anyone can possibly experience. Not only can burn injuries leave victims with long-term physical and emotional scars, but they are one of the most expensive injuries to treat.
If you or a loved one has suffered a burn injury, the attorneys of Golfeiz Law want to express our sincerest wishes for your full and speedy recovery. If that burn injury in any way resulted from the negligence of others, or if an insurance company does not want to adequately compensate you for your losses, the legal services of our burn injury attorneys can ensure those parties uphold their financial obligations.
Let us review your case. Call Golfeiz Law at 1-877-465-3349.
Common Causes of Burn Injuries
Burn injuries can affect anyone, anytime and anywhere. Such injuries can arise due to heat, friction, radiation, cold, chemical, or electric sources, but the majority of burn injuries result from:
- Car accidents
- Chemical spills
- Dangerous household appliances
- Defective products
- Electrocutions
- Fires and explosions
- Lack of safety equipment
- Physical abuse
- Workplace accidents
Types of Burn Degrees in Burn Injuries
Burn symptoms vary depending on how deep the skin damage is. Thus, a burn will fall into one of the following categories:
- First-degree burns – include minor burns to the epidermis or outermost layer of the skin. The skin will appear red, dry, and painful to the touch. There is no blistering or noticeable long-term scarring.
- Second-degree burns – include burns to the outer and second layer of skin (the dermis). These burns are painful and can cause blistering, scarring, and swelling.
- Third-degree burns – include the most severe burns which reach the fat layer beneath the skin (the hypodermis). Burned areas may be black, brown or white. Third-degree burns can destroy nerves, which can then result in numbness.
Adequate medical care is vital to reduce the long-term effects of burn injuries. While first-degree burns can be successfully treated at home, second and third-degree burns require professional medical care. Of course, if there is any doubt as to whether the victim has suffered a first or second-degree burn, it’s important to seek medical attention immediately to determine the severity of a burn injury.
If you’re reading this because you or a loved one has suffered burn injuries, you have the right to seek justice and compensation against the person or entity that caused those burns.
