Burn injuries can occur on the job, at home, or even on the road as a result of faulty equipment, negligence, and uncontrollable circumstances. Burn injuries can affect muscles, nerves, blood vessels and bones, causing physical damage, emotional damage and psychological problems that could last a lifetime.

Classifying Burn Injuries

Burns are classified by degrees. First degree burns are superficial burns involving the outer layer of the skin; these are the burns you suffer with basic sunburn, for example. Second degree burns occur when the damage extends to the second layer of the skin and can be caused by contact with flames, hot liquids, or chemicals leaving the skin extremely red and blistered. Third degree burns, the most serious of all burns, involve damage to all three layers of the skin, causing charring of skin or cause the skin to turn a translucent white color, even possibly destroying nerve endings and blood vessels.

Devastating Effects of Burn Injury

Burn injuries can have devastating effects including:

• Intolerable Pain

Burns sustained may be so severe that surgery, months of work, and years of recuperation may be required.
