Oklahoma Burns Lawyer

A burn is an injury that is caused by electricity, heat, chemicals, radiation, or gases. Burns can be considered one of the most painful non-fatal injuries endured. Nerve endings are damaged from a burn, which is why the extreme pain is experienced. Every year in the U.S. millions of people are burnt, and of those million burn victims, thousands die as a result of the burns. Burns, behind automobile crashes and falls, is the leading cause of unintentional death in the U.S.

Burn injuries can affect other functions, including muscles, nerves, bones, and blood vessels, as well as the respiratory system. Injuring the skin, burns impair the body's normal body temperature, thermal regulation, joint function, fluid balance, manual dexterity, and physical appearance.

A burn is classified by the method that the burn was caused and the degree of the burn. The degree of a burn can vary from first-degree burns to third degree burns. When only the outer layer of skin is injured it is classified as a first-degree burn. Second-degree burns have penetrated the first layer of skin and the second layer. The most painful and severe burn are third degree burns that involved every layer of skin, destroying all the nerve endings. As the burns heal there will be dense scarring and possible skin grafting.

Burns can be the direct result of a personal injury, holding another individual or company liable for the suffering endured. The source and cause of the fire or accident that caused the burn will need to be determined for a burn personal injury case.
