Burn injuries are often painful, unbearable and disfiguring, depending on their location and severity. An accident that causes burn injuries could result in a lifetime of medical treatment, including surgeries and extensive therapy. Burn injuries also cause emotional trauma.
Burn injuries are classified as follows:
- First-Degree Burns: First-degree burns cause the least amount of physical damage. This type of burn only causes damage to the outer layer of the skin. A mild sunburn is an example of a first-degree burn.
- Second-Degree Burns: Second-degree burns cause damage to the underlying layers of the skin. These burns are generally pain and could ultimately blister.
- Third-Degree Burns: Third-degree burns are serious and life threatening. These type of burns destroy all of the layers of skin. Third-degree burns cause nerve damage and could leave permanent scars.
Burn injuries can be caused by the following accidents:
- Automobile Accidents
- Hot/Scalding Water
- Electrical Accidents
- Flammable Liquid Fuel Explosions
- Fires
- Defective Candles
- Defective Lighters
- Defective Products
- Faulty Equipment
