Understanding Burn Severity
The severity of burns affects treatment needs and long-term outcomes
First-Degree Burns
Affect only the outer layer of skin. Painful but typically heal within a week without scarring.
Second-Degree Burns
Damage the outer layer and part of the layer beneath. Blistering, significant pain, and potential scarring.
Third-Degree Burns
Destroy all layers of skin and may damage deeper tissue. Require skin grafts and cause permanent scarring.
Building Your Burn Injury Case
Burn injuries often require extensive, long-term medical care. Surgeries, skin grafts, physical therapy, and psychological treatment can continue for years. The financial impact extends well beyond initial hospital bills.
We work with medical experts to calculate not just your current expenses, but the full cost of future care you'll need. This includes ongoing surgeries, rehabilitation, counseling for psychological trauma, and modifications to your home or workplace.
When burns are caused by gross negligence or intentional misconduct, we also pursue punitive damages to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar conduct in the future.
