Causes of Burn Injuries
Burn injuries can happen in wide range of common accidents, including:
- House fires
- Defective products, including auto defects
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Electrical accidents
- Construction accidents
- Industrial machinery accidents
There are also a wide range of burn injuries you may sustain in these accidents, including:
- Thermal burns, when the body comes in contact with hot objects and flames
- Scalds from hot liquids
- Chemical burns
- Explosions, which can occur in motor vehicle or workplace accidents
- Electrical burns, which result from defective products or contact with power lines
What are the degrees of burn injuries by severity?
There are three primary classifications, or degrees, of burns:
- First degree burns. These are often the least serious, as they only damage the very top layer of skin. First degree burns can usually be treated at home.
- Second degree burns. Second degree burns damage both the top layer of skin and the layer underneath. They are more serious and may require medical attention. Second degree burns often present with blisters and can leave scars.
- Third degree burns. These are the most serious, as they damage the deepest layers of skin and tissue. Third degree burns can lead to nerve damage and may require skin grafts.
Third degree burns are the most serious burns, but that does not mean first and second degree burns do not require immediate attention. You should always seek medical attention in an effort to avoid long-lasting negative impacts.
