What Causes Burn Injuries?

A burn is an injury to the skin, tissue, and/or underlying muscle that occurs when the body is exposed to fire, high levels of heat, chemicals, electricity, or radiation.

While any traumatic accident can potentially cause burns, some of the leading causes include:

  • Car accidents
  • Truck accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Construction accidents
  • Workplace accidents
  • Industrial accidents
  • Fires and explosions
  • Accidents involving defective products
  • Medical malpractice
  • Nursing home abuse

There are different levels of burns, ranging from first-degree (least serious) to fourth-degree (most serious).

    • First-degree burns: Superficial burns that only affect the epidermis, the outer layer of the skin. The affected area tends to be red and painful.
    • Second-degree burns: These burns affect the epidermis and part of the dermis, which is beneath it. The affected area tends to be red and blistered and can be incredibly painful.
  • Third-degree burns: Both the epidermis and dermis are damaged by third-degree burns. Subcutaneous tissue can also be affected. The affected area tends to look white or charred.
  • Fourth-degree burns: These burns destroy all layers of skin, and underlying tissue, and can begin to damage muscle and/or bone. Many victims do not experience pain due to nerve damage.

It’s important to seek immediate medical attention if you or a close family member has sustained burn injuries due to another person’s negligence or intentionally harmful actions. Prompt care can help to limit the chances of complications, such as infection, amputation, or wrongful death.
