Burns occur when the body is exposed to high levels of heat, electricity, radiation, or chemicals. Exposure (or direct contact) causes damage to the skin, tissue, muscle, and/or bone.
Burn injuries are classified on a scale of one to four, based on the severity of the trauma to the body.
First-degree burns are the least severe and are typically the equivalent of a mild sunburn. In these cases, the epidermis - the very outer layer of the skin - is damaged. Typically, victims of first-degree burns will experience redness and pain at the burn site.
Second-degree burns are also known as partial-thickness burns. Damage begins to penetrate the second layer of skin, known as the dermis. Victims of second-degree burns typically experience red, itchy skin, blisters, and pain.
Third-degree burns are also known as full-thickness burns because they cause damage to all three layers of your skin - the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis. Nerves are damaged in third-degree burn victims, so these types of burns typically don’t hurt. Skin can appear shiny, and red, white, or black in color.
Fourth-degree burns are the most severe. In these situations, all layers of the skin are damaged, as are underlying tissue, muscle, and/or bone.
Treatment for burn injuries depends largely on the severity of the injury and the location on the body.
Common burn injury treatments include:
Left untreated, burns can cause serious, potentially life-threatening complications and health issues.
Potential consequences of burn injuries include:
The consequences of a severe burn can touch every corner of a victim’s life. Victims may be unable to work - at all or in the same capacity as before they were injured. The emotional trauma of suffering burns can prevent them from participating in and/or enjoying their lives.
When a burn is someone else’s fault, it’s imperative to stand up and fight to hold them legally (and financially) accountable. Our Aiken County burn injury attorneys are here to help.
