Burns Injury Lawyers

Nothing is more painful than a burn to your body. Depending on the cause and degree of injury, people usually recover from burns without serious health consequences. More serious burns require immediate emergency medical care to prevent complications and death. 

Three primary types of burns are: first-, second-, and third-degree. Each degree is based on the severity of damage to the skin, with first degree being the most minor and third degree being the most severe.

Third-degree burns carry the highest risk of complications, such as bacterial infection, blood loss, and shock. Scars are a risk factor with all types of burns. Severe burns may cause keloids, or discolored areas of scar tissue on the skin.
