Oceanside Burn Injury Attorney

Burn injuries are some of the most painful and traumatic to experience and recover from. A burn injury can result in months spent in the hospital, along with expensive medical bills. If you are the victim of a burn injury due to the negligence of another person, an burn injuries attorney can help you seek compensation for your extensive medical treatments and other expenses.

Types of Burn Injuries

There are four main types of burn injuries:

  • Thermal, caused by steam, hot liquids, fire, or other sources of extreme heat
  • Light, caused by exposure to sunlight or ultraviolet light
  • Chemical, caused by acids, alkali, or chemical explosions
  • Radiation, caused by coming into contact with nuclear radiation

All four of these types of burn scan range in severity. The three grades of burns are:

  • First Degree: The lowest grade of burn; only the top layer of skin is affected; can be treated with ice and aloe vera.
  • Second Degree: More serious type of burn that goes beyond the top layer of skin; can take weeks to heal.
  • Third Degree: The worst kind of burn, which extends through all layers of skin and can even impact organs and bones; damage can be permanent and even result in death.

Causes and Consequences of Burn Injuries

Common causes of burn injuries are:

Burn injuries can result in serious damage, which can include:

  • Tissue, muscle, or nerve damage
  • Scarring and disfigurement
  • Amputation
  • Infection
  • Shock
  • Respiratory and cardiac arrest
  • Internal bleeding
  • Wrongful death

If you suffered from a burn injury that was caused by another person’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation to help pay for your damages.

Compensation for Burn Injuries

Burn injuries are often expensive to treat. Even a first-degree burn can become infected and require medical intervention. Third-degree burns can take a long time to heal and often take a toll on your daily standard of living. Medical costs can include initial treatment, repeat hospital admissions, and rehabilitation, all of which adds up quickly.

An Oceanside burn injury attorney can help you receive the compensation you both deserve and are entitled to after suffering an accident caused by someone else’s carelessness. An experienced lawyer can recoup costs of hospital bills and ongoing medical treatment, as well as recover lost wages and compensation for your suffering. If your injury prevents you from working, you can also seek damages for your potential loss of earning.
