Burn injuries are not only caused by fire, but can be caused by electricity, chemicals, light, radiation or friction. These burns can affect the muscle, bone and nerves, and the injuries may scar the person physically and emotionally. Burns can be classified by different degrees, with first degree burns being the least serious and fourth degree burns being the most serious, and potentially threatening the life of the victim. If you have been injured in a burn accident, then you need to call the attorneys of Greenberg & Rudman LLP now for a free consultation at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO).
First degree burns generally only affect the epidermis, and includes redness and slight pain to the area. Second degree burns affect the dermis and may cause blistering of the skin or nerve damage. Third degree burns damage the epidermis and subcutaneous tissue. Third degree burn victims may require skin grafting and may suffer loss of hair shafts. Fourth degree burns include damaged muscles, tendons and ligament tissue and may result in permanent damage to the hypodermis tissue. Many of these injuries are caused by cooking or scalding hot water, but some may be caused by house fires. When there is a fire involved, then doctors would likely treat the victim for smoke inhalation and possibly burn injury to the lungs.
Personal injury lawsuits require some element of negligence or recklessness by the wrongdoer. This kind of negligence can include improper maintenance by a landlord of your fireplace or electrical system.
