Burn Injuries: Degrees, Causes, and Effects

According to the Cleveland Clinic, burn injuries are categorized into four degrees based on severity, each with distinct symptoms and potential long-term effects:

  • First-degree burns affect only the outer layer of skin (epidermis), causing redness, minor swelling, and pain, similar to mild sunburn.
  • Second-degree burns damage both the epidermis and the underlying dermis, leading to intense redness, blistering, swelling, and significant pain.
  • Third-degree burns extend through all skin layers, potentially affecting fat, muscle, and nerves. These burns may appear white, charred, or leathery, often accompanied by numbness due to nerve damage.
  • Fourth-degree burns, the most severe, reach muscle, tendons, and bones, typically resulting in permanent disability, loss of function, or even fatality.

Common causes of burn injuries frequently intersect with personal injury claims. Our burn injury lawyer serving Selma can handle burn cases arising from such accidents as the following:

  • Workplace accidents: Common in construction or industrial environments, leading to thermal, electrical, or chemical burns
  • Motor vehicle collisions: Fires or explosions following car, truck, or motorcycle accidents
  • Defective products: Malfunctioning appliances, electronics, or batteries that cause burns through overheating or fires
  • Premises liability incidents: Scalding injuries or fires linked to unsafe property conditions, such as poorly maintained water heaters or exposed electrical wiring

Our legal team assists victims in these scenarios, seeking compensation for their losses.

Recoverable Damages for Burn Injury Victims

Burn injuries often lead to extreme physical pain and emotional trauma. In severe cases, treatment can be sought at USA Health Burn Center in Mobile, AL, which will most likely add to the financial strain placed upon you and your family.

However, you may be entitled to recover compensation through a personal injury claim, depending on the severity of the burns and the circumstances of the accident.

Common types of damages burn victims can pursue include:

  • Medical expenses, including emergency care, surgeries, skin grafts, hospitalization, and ongoing treatment
  • Rehabilitation costs, such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, and assistive devices
  • Lost wages and income lost due to time away from work during recovery
  • Loss of future earning capacity because of permanent injuries or disabilities impair your ability to work
  • Pain and suffering, as well as emotional distress, mental anguish, and a diminished quality of life
  • Disfigurement and scarring you now live with

Our lawyer can investigate your case and determine the full range of damages you can claim, fighting for the fair settlement you deserve.

When our legal team takes on your case, you can count on us to:

  • Compile your complete economic and non-economic damages
  • Communicate with insurance companies and negotiate a fair settlement
  • File legal claims before the statute of limitations expires

To win your burn injury case, our lawyer must prove that another party’s negligence caused the injury. This requires establishing four key points:

  • Duty of care: The at-fault party had a responsibility for your safety
  • Breach of duty: They violated that responsibility
  • Causation: Their actions led to an accident and your burns
  • Damages: You now live with pain, anguish, and debt

Proving these four points of negligence requires evidence, such as the following:

  • Accident reports or workplace incident records
  • Photographs and videos of the accident scene and injuries
  • Medical records and expert testimony regarding injury severity
  • Witness statements
  • Product defect reports or maintenance records for premises or equipment

Our attorney and team can build a strong case and pursue the compensation you deserve, leaving you free to recover.
