Burn injuries are incredibly painful and because of the nature of burns, it can be hard to recover from such wounds. Filing a lawsuit and recovering from burn injuries is something that no victim should have to go through. We at the Normandie Law Firm know that victims need to focus on recovery because that’s the only way that you will recover to the best of your ability.
Spanish speakers who have suffered a burn injury need to get legal assistance so they can fully recover the monetary compensation for their damages. But Spanish speakers face a disadvantage, especially if Spanish is their stronger or only language. If Spanish is their only language and they want to file a lawsuit for their damages, it can be difficult for them to find a lawyer who speaks fluent Spanish to guide them through the whole legal process; to answer any question they may have regarding their case. Without a fluent Spanish speaking attorney, these Spanish speakers may not be protected fully under the law.
We at the Normandie Law Firm have the lawyers necessary to meet all of your needs. Our lawyers speak Spanish fluently and will guide you throughout the whole process. They can answer any question you may have. If there is something you do not understand, our attorney will explain to you so that you comprehend and will be able to make the right choice every time.
Common Causes of Burns
In order to get you the best possible compensation for your burn injury, we are going to have to identify the kind of burn injury you sustained. Burn injuries are classified by the cause of the injury – while the majority of burn cases are caused by contact with fire, not all burn injuries are due to flame exposure. Below is a list of the most common sources of burn injuries:
Injuries caused by fire and flame exposure. Fire is the most common source of burn injuries. Depending on the amount of exposure and the temperature of the flame, your injuries may vary from simple to severe. All burn injuries are categorized from first degree through third-degree burns.
Thermal burn injuries. These injuries are caused by an external heat source (like a hot iron, stove, oven, etc.) and raise the temperature of the skin. It can cause discomfort, reddening, scarring, and death of kin and underlying tissue.
Scalding burn injuries. Scalding burn injuries are caused by external sources as well, but these are caused by boiling water and steam. The molecules contain large amounts of energy that can cause severe burns.
Chemical burn injuries. These injuries are caused by corrosive chemicals like acids, bases, alkalies, detergents, or solvents that make contact with skin or eyes.
Electrical burn injuries. When an electric current passes through your body, it can cause burns. Depending on the strength of the current, it can leave varying burns.
If you suffered any of these burn injuries that required medical treatment, you may be entitled to receive compensation. Our Spanish speaking lawyers will be able to help you identify your burn and guide you to the right doctors to get the necessary treatment.
Degrees of Burns
Burns are classified into three major classifications: first-degree burns, second-degree burns, and third-degree burns, with the latter being the most severe of the classifications.
First Degree: These are superficial burns that damage the upper-layer of skin, the epidermis. The skin reddens, is painful and dry without any blisters. A mild sunburn is usually classified as a first-degree burn.
Second Degree: The burns reach deeper than the epidermis, and typically involve both layer of the skin. The upper-layer, and the lower-level known as the dermis. A second-degree burn involves pain, reddening of the skin, and blister.
Third Degree: These burns penetrate fully and are also known as full thickness burns. A third-degree burn completely burns the first and second layers of sin and can even damage the muscle, nerves, and bone that lay under the skin. The burn area is white, leathery, or charred. There is no pain associated with third-degree burns because the nerves have been singed and can no longer transmit signals to your brain.
