Burn Injury Severity

Burn injuries are rated on severity and include the following:

• First-degree burns. These types of burns only affect the outer layer of skin, called the epidermis. The site may be red, but typically no blisters develop. Mild sunburns are the most common cause of first-degree burns.
• Second-degree burns. This level of severity of burns affects the epidermis and part of the lower layer, called the dermis. This can lead to reddening and blisters and may be painful or swollen. Touching scalding surfaces can lead to a second-degree burn.
• Third-degree burns. This level of burns will destroy the epidermis and the dermis, and this could go into the subcutaneous tissue below. This type of burn may look white or black and possibly charred.
• Fourth-degree burns. These types of burns will affect all layers of skin as well as underlying tissue, and possibly even muscle and bone. There will typically be no immediate pain in the area because the nerve endings are destroyed.

Compensation for a Visalia Burn Injury Victim

Compensation for burn injury victims will depend heavily on the total severity of the burn. At-fault parties will likely be required to pay for medical bills, lost income, out-of-pocket expenses, and more. It is important to point out that individuals should not settle their claim until they understand the full extent of the medical treatment needed to care for the burn injury. This could include surgical treatment, skin grafts, pain medication, physical therapy and rehabilitation, and more. Our Visalia personal injury lawyers face many cases where individuals become burn victims and will fight to get the compensation they deserve.
