Missouri Burn Injury Statistics

Severity of Burn Injuries

4 types of burn injuries for personal injury lawsuits

Burn injuries vary in severity, and understanding the extent of the damage is crucial for determining the amount of compensation you could receive:

First-Degree Burns

Also known as superficial burns, first-degree burns affect only the outermost layer of the skin, known as the epidermis. These burns typically result in redness, mild swelling, and pain but are generally minor and seldom require medical treatment.

Second-Degree Burns

Second-degree burns affect the dermis, which is the second layer of skin. They often lead to blistering, swelling, and severe pain. In more serious cases, a skin graft may be necessary to aid healing.

Third-Degree Burns

Third-degree burns affect deeper tissue and damage hair follicles and nerve endings. Because the nerves are often destroyed, these burns may feel less painful than milder burns. However, they are extremely serious and usually require immediate medical care.

Fourth-Degree Burns

The most critical type of burn, fourth-degree burns, penetrates through all layers of skin and damages muscles, tendons, and even bones. These injuries can cause permanent nerve damage and loss of function. They can result in amputation or death. Emergency medical treatment is essential.
