Types of Fire and Burn Injuries

A high number of injuries can occur that will drastically change your life, from outward burns and scars to internal issues, such as respiratory problems and sepsis, which can damage your internal organs.

There are mainly three types of burns that a victim can experience:

• First-degree burns that damage only the outer layer of skin.
• Second-degree burns that harm the outer layer and layer underneath.
• Third-degree burns that damage or destroy the deepest layer of skin and tissues underneath.

A Fire or Burn Can Happen Quickly and Leave Detrimental Affects

When we think about a burn injury, most immediately envision an open flame situation, like a building or vehicle fire. But direct contact with a fire or flame only makes up about 46% of burn injuries. Roughly 30% are due to injuries sustained from being scalded by steam, hot water, or other forms of gas and hot liquid, and roughly 8% occur from contact with random, hot objects, such as ovens or irons.

Other burns happen from contact with electricity, chemicals, inhalation, and more. Both the long-term and short-term affects such situations can have on you and your family are difficult to fully understand unless you’re a victim, yourself. Beyond any internal, muscle, or tissue damage, burn victims can also face emotional problems, such as depression, nightmares, or haunting feelings similar to PTSD.

Burn Injuries Due to Defective Products

Defective and faulty products can unfortunately lead to serious burns that can have significant consequences, from the physical to the emotional. Many burn victims may be so severely burned or psychologically affected that they can’t return to jobs or enjoy former activities. Long-term medical care may also be required.

The Norcross personal injury attorneys at The Musgrove Trial Firm have a great deal of experience representing clients burned by defective products. Therefore, we treat every client as a person rather than a case file. We are here to answer your questions, provide support and guidance, and aggressively advocate on your behalf.
