Examples of Burn Injuries

The following are some different types of burn injuries:

Injury from fire or flame occurs as a result of contact with a heat source or fire. This can produce a thermal burn. A car accident or explosion at a factory may cause a thermal burn.

Chemical burns may be the result of contact with a dangerous product, or inhalation of fumes.

Scalding injuries may occur due to contact with extremely hot water coming from a tap. Business owners and landlords have a responsibility to maintain a safe water heater temperature (less than 120 degrees Fahrenheit). These types of injuries may result in a premises liability suit.

Electrical burns can occur when a current passes through a body. This type of injury may be the result of a defective product. It also can occur at the workplace as a result of third-party negligence.

Burn injuries can range by degrees

Burn injuries range in degree, depending on severity:

  • First degree - Less serious burns that may include minor pain and redness of the skin
  • Second degree - Burns causing blisters and superficial destruction of the dermis
  • Third degree - Burns that extend into the deeper tissue, causing destruction of both the epidermis and the dermis
  • Fourth degree - Deep tissue burns that completely destroy the skin and sometimes damage muscle, fascia or bone
