Burn injuries can cause any of the damaging effects to happen:
1st degree burns
Damages the topmost layer of the skin and will usually require minor treatment at home.
2nd degree burns
Damages the underlying layer found directly beneath the skin. They cause blisters and an extreme amount of pain.
3rd degree burns
Go even deeper below the skin's surface and may lead to nerve damage, infection or the need for skin-grafts to repair permanent deterioration of the skin.
4th degree burns
Need urgent medical attention to help prevent further injury, avoid amputation, and attempt to repair any permanent damage or disfigurement.
The effects of burn injuries are not only physical, but may be psychological as well. You may have grounds to file a lawsuit or claim to recover compensation for your pain and suffering.
