What Are the Four Degrees of Burn Injuries?

Burn injuries are separated into four different categories based on the degree of severity.

First-degree burns are the least severe burn injuries. Most adults have suffered first-degree burns at some point in their lives. The first-degree burn affects the top layers of the skin and does not break the skin. Though painful, recovery is a simple process of just waiting for the burn to heal. Scarring should be limited or nonexistent.

Second-degree burns may break through the top layer of the skin. A burn victim with second-degree burns will likely recover and suffer little in the way of permanent scarring. There is a risk of skin infections, however, and those with concerns should seek medical attention when possible.

Third-degree burns go well past the burned skin and damage the individual’s soft tissue, such as their muscles. Burn victims who suffer a third-degree burn usually either had prolonged exposure to a fire or suffered chemical burns that burned deep and fast. Third-degree burns come with a long recovery time and may require skin grafts.

Fourth-degree burns are the most serious burn injuries that a human being can sustain and still potentially survive. Fourth-degree burns can burn muscles, tendons, and bones. Those who suffer from a fourth-degree burn must seek emergency medical treatment immediately, for these injuries could easily cost them their life. If the burn victim survives, they should expect their body to be forever impacted by the injury they sustained.

How Can Burn Injury Victims Recover Compensation from the Negligent Party?

Accident victims who sustain burn injuries may be unable to work, care for themselves, or continue living in the manner they had prior to suffering their burns. Because of this, it is important that your financial settlement take the form of both economic and non-economic damages.

Your burn injury lawyer could help you recover compensation in the form of the following:

• Emotional distress.
• Loss of future income.
• Lost wages.
• Medical bills.
• Property damage.
• Reconstructive surgery.
• Rehabilitation.
• Therapy.
• Wrongful death.

Burn victims may suffer long-lasting, life-altering disabilities as a result of their injuries. They could suffer a new disability, such as loss of sight, be left in a constant state of pain and suffering, suffer muscle and organ damage, lose physical sensation, and be left physically scarred. While injury victims can seek skin grafts, and there are new advancements in medical care all the time, such procedures are expensive. If another party was responsible for the accident, the burn victim may have the right to seek financial compensation by filing a personal injury lawsuit.
