Degrees of Burns
Burns come in different classification systems that range from mild to severe. They are classified as first-degree, second-degree, and third-degree burns. With first-degree burns being the mildest and third-degree being the most severe.
First-Degree Burns – These burn injuries do not affect more than the superficial layer of skin known as the epidermis. The skin dries up, becomes sensitive, reddens, but does not blister. Sunburns are examples of first-degree burns.
Second-Degree Burns – Second-degree burns involve the damage reaching deeper into the body and affect the second layer of skin, the dermis. The skin becomes painful, reddens, and blisters form. Touching a hot stove usually form second-degree burns.
Third-Degree Burns – These burns penetrate deep into the body and are known as full thickness burns. A third-degree burn completely burns the first and second layers of skin, and can even damage the tissues that reside underneath. Third-degree burns affect the muscle, tendons, nerves, and even the bones. The burn area is white, leathery, or charred. They are usually painless as the nerves have been burned to a crisp and can no longer send pain signals to the brain.
Burn injuries are serious and can permanently damage your body. Apart from physiological damages, they can also cause psychological trauma. Because they are damaging, you need the right Spanish-speaking attorney on your side. An experienced attorney will be able to fully explain everything you need to know about the compensation you could win from your lawsuit, and the necessary evidence you will need to prove your case.
Types of Burns
In order to get the most compensation possible for your injury, the courts must know what kind of burn you have suffered. Below is a list of the most common burn injuries:
Thermal Injuries: Thermal injuries occur when there’s an external heat source raises the temperature of the skin. It can create discomfort, reddening, scarring, charring, and death of the skin and underlying tissue.
Scalding Injuries: Like thermal burns, scalding injuries involve external heat sources, but these are liquid-based. They can cause most of the same types of injuries, like reddening, scarring, and death of skin. Sources of these are steam, boiling water, hot coffee, etc.
Chemical Injuries: Chemicals can cause burns as well, whether they be from corrosive materials or chemical reactions, they can leave severe burn injuries. Things like detergents, battery acid, solvents, and other such solutions can corrode and burn the skin.
Electrical Injuries: Electricity passes through your body with a charge, and that charge can create intense heat. Depending on the strength of the current, it can leave varying burns.
If you suffered any of these burns, you are entitled to receive compensation for your damages. Our Spanish-speaking attorneys will be able to help direct you to a physician that will be able to identify your burn and get you the necessary treatment so you recover to the best of your ability.
