Burn Injuries

Each year, around half a million people seek medical care for burn injuries in the United States.  Fires, car crashes, heat, explosions, chemicals, hot liquids and electrical accidents cause most burn injuries.  The factors in assessing a burn injury include the severity of the burn as well as the size of the burns.

Burns are categorized by their severity:

First-degree burns are minor burns that produce redness and swelling in the top layer of skin.

Second-degree burns are more serious and produce redness and blisters in the first and second layers of skin.

Third-degree burns are the most serious and affect all layers of skin and the tissue underneath.

Serious burn injuries can result in disfigurement, nerve damage, and death. Recovering from a burn injury may require lengthy rehabilitation and reconstructive surgeries. Additionally, a surgeon may have to perform skin grafts to allow the burn injury to properly heal.

If you or someone you love suffered burns in a Pennsylvania accident, you may be entitled to financial compensation from the negligent party. Call Reiff & Bily today at (800) 421-9595 or contact us online to request your free consultation.
