    What is a Burn Injury?

    A burn injury occurs when the skin or other body tissue is damaged due to heat, chemicals, electricity, or radiation.

    The degrees of burns are:

    • First-degree burns. First-degree burns affect the outer layer of the skin, like a mild sunburn.
    • Second-degree burns. Second-degree burns damage the skin’s outer layer and the dermis (the layer underneath). Your skin will be bright red and swollen and may look shiny and wet. You will likely experience blisters, and the burn will be painful when touched.
    • Third-degree burns. Third-degree burns destroy all three layers of your skin. Your burn area may be discolored, but it also may not hurt because of the nerve damage caused by the burn.
    • Fourth-degree burns. A fourth-degree burn damages all the layers of your skin as well as your bones, muscles, and tendons. These deep burns can be life-threatening. 

    Burn injuries often require extensive medical treatment, including surgeries, skin grafts, physical therapy, and long-term rehabilitation. Because of their complexity, burn injury claims typically require an experienced attorney who can navigate medical records, insurance negotiations, and liability issues.

      Common Types of Burn Injuries

      Burn injuries can happen in many ways, and understanding the type of burn is important in a legal claim. Common types include:

      • Thermal Burns – Caused by fire, hot surfaces, steam, or scalding liquids. These are among the most common and can range from minor to life-threatening.
      • Chemical Burns – Result from contact with acids, alkalis, or other corrosive substances. Workplace accidents often involve chemical burns.
      • Electrical Burns – Caused by exposure to high voltage or electrical currents. These burns can damage internal organs as well as skin.
      • Radiation Burns – Result from prolonged exposure to UV rays, X-rays, or radiation therapy. These are less common but can still cause significant injury.

      Identifying the type of burn is critical in a personal injury claim, as it affects both medical treatment and the potential compensation available.

      Causes of Burn Injuries

      Burn injuries can happen in a variety of situations. Understanding the cause is important when building a personal injury case. Common causes of burns include:

      • Residential Accidents – Kitchen fires, hot liquids, faulty heating equipment, and electrical malfunctions at home.
      • Workplace Accidents – Exposure to chemicals, industrial machinery, or electrical hazards.
      • Vehicle Fires – Car accidents can result in burns from flames, hot metal, or explosions.
      • Fires and Explosions – Residential or commercial fires, gas explosions, and faulty wiring.
      • Medical or Hospital Errors – Burns from medical treatments such as radiation therapy or improper use of medical equipment.

      The Long-Term Effects of a Burn Injury

      Burn injuries often have lasting physical, emotional, and financial impacts. Some long-term effects include:

      • Scarring and Disfigurement – Severe burns can leave permanent scars or affect appearance, potentially requiring reconstructive surgery.
      • Chronic Pain and Sensitivity – Burn victims may experience ongoing pain, nerve damage, and sensitivity to temperature changes.
      • Emotional Trauma – Post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and depression are common among burn survivors.
      • Medical Expenses – Extended treatment, rehabilitation, and specialized care can result in substantial financial burdens.
      • Impact on Employment – Severe burns may prevent victims from returning to work, affecting long-term earning capacity.

      Because of these long-term consequences, securing full and fair compensation is essential. Our Hobbs burn injury attorney can help ensure all damages, including future medical costs and lost wages, are considered.

        My husband was injured in a workplace accident in 2022. The first law firm he went to looked at his case and turned it down. he had all but decided to give up when he called the Kemmy's. They took his case and ran with it. In the end, they made a significant recovery for me. I highly recommend the Kemmy Law Firm.
