Causes of Burn Injuries

Many of the worst burn injuries are the result of a single, sudden event that catches people off-guard. It may be caused by a car accident, truck accident, or even a train accident.

People burned the worst in hazardous accidents or incidents are often not directly responsible and therefore should not be held liable for medical bills and other related costs to recover. Instead, many burn injuries are caused by the negligence of others, such as a poorly-manufactured electrical product or a construction site supervisor that does not enforce strict safety standards.

Different sources of dangers that could lead to severe burn injuries include:

  • Open flames
  • Electrical hazards
  • Caustic chemicals
  • Superheated surfaces
  • Defective appliances
  • Explosions
  • Car accidents
  • Truck accidents

Different Degrees of Burn Severity

Medical professionals recognize several different severities of burn injuries, represented by degrees. As the degrees increase, so does the harm, extensiveness, and the cost to treat the wound. In order to know how much your injury claim is worth, it can be beneficial to better comprehend the medical definition of your own burn injury.

Burns are categorized into six degrees, described as:

  • First: Mild burn that causes slight reddening of the skin; does not require hospitalization, only basic first aid; can become infected if not treated properly.
  • Second: Painful burn that may whiten the skin in the affected area; can potentially cause nerve or muscle damage, leading to permanent injury; immediate medical attention is advised.
  • Third: Excruciating burn that destroys deep tissues and blackens flesh; permanent disfigurement likely; skin grafts may be necessary to treat wound; immediate medical attention required.
  • Fourth: Intense burn that chars flesh to the bone; amputation is likely; victim may not survive, even with immediate emergency care.
  • Fifth & sixth: Burns so severe, internal organs will be permanently damaged; not considered to be survivable in any instance; constitutes a wrongful death lawsuit.
