Understanding the Intricacies of Burn Injury Cases

Burns are injuries to the body that can be caused by fire, radiation, heat, electricity, or chemicals. Serious burns, such as those that cover a broad portion of the body and/or impact internal organs, are often fatal; others may result in lifelong medical complications. In addition to resulting in lasting physical damage to the skin and altering physical appearances, a serious burn injury can have significant psychological and emotional effects on the sufferer.

Burn injuries can be classified in the first, second, third or fourth degree, each representing an increasing level of severity. The following is a short description of each:

• First-degree burns: The least severe type of burn, which is comparable to a sunburn, first-degree burns affect the outer layer of the skin and are characterized by minor pain and redness on this region of the skin.
• Second-degree burns: These burns affect the first and second layer of the skin. Second-degree burns can cause blistering of the skin, fluid buildup, and damage to the deep skin tissue, resulting in a whitened outer appearance.
• Third-degree burns: These burns are considered to be “severe” in nature and involve the actual charring of all the skin’s different layers. The skin affected by a third-degree burn turns hard, thick, and leathery. Fluid buildup occurs and may be purple in color. Third-degree burns may not feel painful because of the nerve damage that has resulted, and plastic surgery such as skin grafting may be necessary.
• Fourth-degree burns: These burns are the most severe. Fourth-degree burns can result in the complete charring of all of the layers of the skin, which can even extend through the muscle tissue and into the bone. Fourth-degree burns can be fatal and/or life-threatening and generally require serious plastic surgery.
