Pearland Burn Injuries Attorney
Burn injuries are some of the most painful injuries a person can endure; they not only affect the skin tissue, but underlying muscles, nerves, bones and blood vessels. In addition to dealing with the intense physical pain of a burn injury, victims must also bear the intense emotional and psychological suffering that often accompanies such devastating injuries.
Burns are not only the result of fire or explosion, but can also be the result of chemicals, electric currents, ultraviolet light and radiation. The seriousness of a burn injury is categorized in degrees:
- First degree burns are the least damaging type of burn; they affect only the outer layer of skin and usually heal completely within a couple days.
- Second degree burns affect the outer two layers of skin; these burns often produce painful blisters, but heal with little to no scarring within a couple weeks.
- Third degree burns cause damage to all three layers of skin; the affected area is usually charred or blackened and results in severe scarring. Skin grafting may be required.
