      What are Common Types of Burn Injuries?

      Hundreds of thousands of Americans every single year suffer burn injuries, and a lot of them are severe. A lot of kids die in accidents involving burns from home fires and thousands of people go to the emergency room annually to treat burn injuries. It’s a lot more common than you might think. If you are a victim of a burn injury, we urge you to seek medical attention as soon as you possibly can so you can get the treatment you need.

      Here are four of the types of burns that people suffer from when they go to the emergency room for an accident:

      • Thermal burns from fire, boiling liquids, steam, and other very hot objects.
      • Light burns from the sun and UV lights.
      • Chemical burns from contact with chemicals, explosions, acids, alkali, etc.
      • Radiation burns from contact with nuclear radiation.

      Each type of burn has varying levels of severity that are described below:

      First-degree burns: These types of burns usually tend to affect only the top layer of skin. The damage is pretty minimal but very painful still. In a first-degree burn, you might see the area turn red and get a little bit inflamed. A lot of the time, you get these while you’re cooking, and running them under cold water can help the pain and aloe can help it heal. These types of burns can still get infected and result in prolonged recovery time.

      Second-degree burns: Second-degree burns go deeper than the top layer of skin and you will see the area get very red and the skin may blister. These types of burns can take sometimes a month or so to heal completely and they need to be properly treated if you expect to make a full recovery.

      Third-degree burns: Getting a third-degree burn is the worst possible type of burn you can get because it could cause damage through the layers of skin down to the bone and sometimes to organs. The skin might look black and white and charred. There could be nerve damage and hypothermia and some people die from third-degree burns. They require immediate medical attention.

      How Much Compensation Can I Recover for a Burn Injury Claim?

      A burn is often really hard to treat. It can be expensive and traumatic. Even if you get a first-degree burn, you can still suffer infections, which prolong your treatment and delay your recovery. If you end up with a third-degree burn, it can take many years before you heal. What’s more, an injury like that it puts a huge heavy toll on your life. You might be restricted on what kind of work you can do and you might have psychological trauma from this kind of burn. Treating burns especially the more severe burns can be very costly and require a lot of rehab.

      If you are suffering injuries after an incident where you were severely burned and it was based on someone’s carelessness or negligence, you can hire our Augusta burn injury lawyers to protect your rights to full and fair compensation.

      You can get compensated for two types of damages with most personal injury cases:

      Non-economic damages and economic damages.  Noneconomic damages include all the psychological trauma that you’ve had to endure as well as your pain and suffering. These are damages that affect the way you live your life and enjoy the quality of your life. Your non-economic damages are harder to put a number on because they’re so subjective, but our lawyers will fight for every penny that we believe your case is worth.

      Economic damages are more tangible. They include the loss of earning capacity and lost wages you’ve suffered, as well as all the costs for your expensive burn injury treatments. If you’ve suffered greatly and it’s cost you a lot out-of-pocket, all of this is factored into your compensation award, which our Augusta burn injury lawyers will fight hard to get for you in the fullest and fairest amount by means of compensation.

      What is the Georgia Burn Injury Statute of Limitations?

      When you are bringing a claim against the insurance company, you are going to be held to the Georgia statute of limitations. Your statute of limitations is a legal term for the time between your accident that caused your burn injury and when you are allowed to bring your claim for compensation. The statute of limitations in Georgia for personal injury, including burn injury claims, is two years. What this means for your case is that, as soon as you are injured, you should reach out to a lawyer to discuss your legal options. If you wait for more than a two-year statute of limitations, then you’re going to be turned away and not receive any compensation for your damages whatsoever. Because this is a time-sensitive case and your evidence could go missing or your witnesses could not be tracked or forget the key details of your case, you want to reach out to our Augusta burn injury lawyers as soon as you can.

      The ideal first step right after you’ve been hurt, of course, is to get medical attention. As soon as you start your treatment for your burn injury, we want to hear from you. Your second step after being injured should be to call and set up a free first consultation. During this free first consultation, you are going to be able to tell your story and then get information about how to move forward in your pursuit of justice.

      There are many reasons why someone might not win a case. They might not have the right lawyers or the insurance company could have taken advantage of them before they got in touch with lawyers to defend the rights. What we want to avoid is you missing out on compensation because you didn’t bring your case on time. It would be a tragedy for you to lose out on your justice only based on the fact that you didn’t make it within the statute of limitations of two years. Please reach out right away so this does not happen to you as it has happened to so many others.
