Common Burn Injury Types and Causes

A person may suffer different types of burn injuries.

These are some of the more common types of burn injuries:

  • Burn injuries in a fire
  • Chemical burns
  • Scalding burns
  • Thermal burns
  • Radiation burns
  • Electrical burns

Categories of Burn Injuries

Burn injuries may be divided into first, second and third degree burns, depending on the type of damage that has occurred to the skin and tissue. In a first degree burn, the first layer of the skin is damaged. In a second degree burn, there is much deeper penetration of the skin, and deeper skin layers may be damaged. Third degree burns are the most serious type of burn injuries, and can include layers of skin and tissue under the skin.

Long-Term Effects: Scarring and Disability from Burns

Not only does a burn injury victim suffer extreme pain and trauma, but she may also expect to suffer disfigurement or scarring after the injury. Even when the burn injuries have healed, there may be scarring that leaves the skin with a bumpy appearance. Even cosmetic surgery may never completely restore the person’s appearance.

Legal Support for Burn Injury Victims

There are economic consequences of burn injuries. If your burns are on a noticeable part of the body, it may impact your ability to get a job, especially certain types of industries, such as marketing, public relations, media and other industries in which personal appearances are at a premium.

Your claim for compensation may include not only the short-term economic losses from your injuries, but also the long-term losses because of your lost income earning potential.

  • "You are a very special person and I am truly glad you are on my side."
    Dear Steven, Just a short note to thank you for taking the time to fully explain to me what we are up against. It meant a lot to me. You are a very special person and I am truly glad you are on my side. Love by P. B.

  • "He is by far the best in the country for representing these types of malpractice cases."
    Attorney Steven Effres is a class act. He treats every single case with diligence, attention, compassion, and professionalism. After researching attorneys who specialized in dental malpractice, I found attorney Effres. I believe the Lord led me to this particular attorney. My husband and I are both medical professionals and I cannot begin to explain how thorough and educated he was on my case matter, lingual nerve injuries. His website bio demonstrates his success with these cases, but my experience has enlightened me. He is by far the best in the country for representing these types of malpractice cases. Establishing a case with Steven is like joining a family through marriage. Through the good and bad, he will be with you each step of the way, guiding you through your case. Not to mention, his staff is no less. You can expect your case to be attended to by each of his employees in the same manner.

  • "I really feel like it's his reputation as a trial lawyer that got us the deal."
    Two attorney firms dropped us before the 2 year deadline and we were panicking. My husband was badly hurt when a truck backed into him as he was walking by. Justin took us in and we really felt like we had someone on our side. I really feel like it's his reputation as a trial lawyer that got us the deal. I would absolutely recommend him!

  • "I would hope that nobody NEEDS to have an injury lawyer, but if they did, I would absolutely recommend Effres and Associates in a heartbeat."
    In August of 2015 I was involved in a serious motorcycle accident that involved the loss of operation of my dominant arm, as well as a traumatic brain injury. My parents had contacted Effres and associates (they were referred to them by another lawyer for another injury to a relative) and they drove from Agoura Hills down to Pasadena immediately, surveyed the accident scene, and then arrived at the hospital. Over the next two and a half years, Justin Effres and his father Steven Effres, relentlessly pursued this case for me, even when at one point it seemed like there wasn't much that could be done to resolve the situation. I had to go through the typical trial stuff such as meetings, deposition, medical appointments for Effres' firm and for the defense, but Effres did all that he could to make everything doable and smooth as possible for me. My perception of lawyers was certainly changed for the better after working with Justin and his dad, because of their genuine sincerity. They were always available and fully knowledgeable of the questions that my family and I had for them. Despite the case dragging on for over 2 years, they never left me hanging or feeling like the case was going nowhere, because Justin kept searching for answers and kept me updated with everything. All of his hard work paid off in a successful outcome for me. I would hope that nobody NEEDS to have an injury lawyer, but if they did, I would absolutely recommend Effres and Associates in a heartbeat.
