- Burn Injury
When a person experiences an accident, there is potential for injury to occur. Take, for example, an individual getting hurt while on the job. If the injury resulted from the negligence, carelessness, or ill intent of another person or party, a person may have a claim for a personal injury matter. Though different accidents can yield different injuries, one that exists across professions and environments is a burn. In today’s blog, your Dallas, TX catastrophic injury attorneys take a look at the different types and classifications of burns, what accidents they are most likely to result from, and how you can work with our team to acquire the compensation you are owed.
Types and Classifications
Have you ever burned yourself as you were cooking a meal? Or perhaps accidentally touching a hot item on the job? Believe it or not, skin burn injuries are relatively common with over a million burn injuries occurring every year in the United States. What’s more? Burns can also occur as a result of electrical injury, and these are much more difficult to diagnose, as the damage can occur below the surface of the skin.
The degree of a burn will depend largely on how deep it is and its severity. For instance, a first-degree burn is going to be the mildest, as it only affects the top layer of the skin. Fourth-degree burns, however, are the most severe and potentially life-threatening. These injuries go through the skin, affecting the muscles, tendons, and bones. For more information about types of burns and personal injury claims, give our team a call today.
Work and Car Accidents
Although there are several situations where injury results from a burn, two of the most common happen to be in car accidents and work-related accidents. In some car wrecks, fires or explosions can occur and burn people. In the workplace, a worker may get burned by hot equipment, chemicals, and even electricity. Moreover, specialty industries may require working in difficult/dangerous environments involving toxic fumes, gasses, or smoke.
Lifelong Impacts
