Dependable Advice in Colorado Burn Injury Claims - Norton Personal Injury Law Offices
Have you suffered a burn and need legal advice?
Every year over 40,000 people are treated for burn injuries---according to the American Burn Association. These injuries are some of most painful and debilitating injuries one can face after an accident and victims can spend years undergoing painful skin grafts and surgeries. If you or someone you love has suffered from a serious burn injury, it is important to contact an experienced Colorado personal injury attorney immediately. Burn injuries are some of the most expensive injuries to treat and can easily exhaust even the best insurance plans. As a result, an aggressive personal injury attorney may be able to ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve after a devastating burn injury or fire accident.
Three Degrees of Burn Injuries:
First-degree Burns – These burns are usually minor because they only affect the outer layer of skin (epidermis). Sunburns and superficial burns are prime examples of these types. While they may be red and painful, first-degree burns do not require much treatment and will heal quickly.
Second-degree Burns – These burns are more traumatic because of their depth. A second-degree burn will affect both the epidermis and the dermis beneath. When someone receives a second-degree burn, their skin will usually blister and will be extremely painful. In some cases, a second-degree burn that is not treated can actually progress into a third-degree burn and cause serious damage and permanent scarring.
Third-degree Burns – Of all the burns, these burns are the most traumatic and the most deadly. Victims of third-degree burns actually burn the delicate hypodermis beneath the dermis and healing is usually extremely slow. These burns may actually not be painful, because of the extensive damage done to the nerves and tissue. Third-degree burns can cause extreme scarring and even death if a large portion of the body is affected
A burn injury can occur after any traumatic accident---including motorcycle accidents, automobile accidents, explosions, electrical accidents and even work related accidents. If you or someone you love has suffered a burn injury due to another person's negligence, it is important to contact an experienced Colorado personal injury attorney immediately to protect your rights and ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve.
