What Is a Burn Injury?

A burn is a type of injury that occurs when the skin or other body tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, chemicals, electricity, radiation, or friction. Burns can vary in severity, with different degrees of tissue damage, and they are typically classified into three main categories: first-degree, second-degree, and third-degree burns.

Here's an overview of each type of burn:

First-Degree Burns: These are the mildest type of burns and affect only the top layer of skin (the epidermis). First-degree burns often result in symptoms like redness, minor swelling, and pain.
Second-Degree Burns: Second-degree burns are more severe and affect both the epidermis and the layer beneath it (the dermis). Symptoms of second-degree burns include blistering, severe pain, redness, and swelling. These burns may require medical attention to prevent infection and promote proper healing.
Third-Degree Burns: Third-degree burns are the most severe type of burns, affecting all layers of the skin and potentially causing damage to underlying tissues, nerves, and blood vessels. The skin may appear charred or white, and there may be nerve damage. Third-degree burns often require immediate medical attention and may necessitate skin grafts or other surgical treatments.

Common Causes of Burn Injuries in Louisville

Burn injuries can be caused by a variety of sources. The most common causes of burn injuries are:

Thermal Burns: Caused by contact with flames, hot liquids, steam, or hot objects.
Chemical Burns: Result from exposure to corrosive chemicals or substances.
Electrical Burns: Occur when an electric current passes through the body, causing tissue damage.
Radiation Burns: Caused by exposure to radiation, such as from X-rays or radiation therapy.
Friction Burns: Occur when the skin rubs against a hard surface, causing abrasions and potential burn injuries.

Surgical fires are another cause of burn injuries. It is estimated that there are 90 to 100 surgical fires in the United States every year. According to the Joint Commission, most surgical fires are due to shortcomings in teamwork and communication. Surgical fires are fully preventable with proper training, education, and safe policies, practices, and procedures. If you or a loved one is injured by a surgical fire, contact our attorneys to help you or your loved one get full compensation for their burn injuries.

Regardless of the cause, our Louisville burn injury lawyers are ready to assist you in pursuing justice and the compensation you need to recover and move forward with your life.
