Helping Burn Victims & Their Families

Burn injuries can be devastating. The pain is often excruciating, and the resulting scarring can be permanent. In addition to the physical consequences, burn injuries can also cause emotional trauma, leading to post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental health issues. Burn injuries can be fatal and can even result in wrongful death if they cause severe damage to the victim's respiratory system.

Overview of Burn Injuries

Burn injuries can be caused by a variety of sources, such as fire, electricity, chemicals, and the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays. Common burn injuries include first- and second-degree burns, as well as burns that cover large areas of the body.

Burn injuries can result in:

• Catastrophic injuries
• Skin damage
• Scarring
• Amputation
• Post-traumatic stress disorder
• Death

Types of Burns

There are three main types of burns:

• First-degree burns: First-degree burns are the least severe. They involve only the outer layer of the skin, causing pain, redness, and slight swelling. First-degree burns are typically caused by exposure to the sun or by contact with something hot, such as a stove or a curling iron.
• Second-degree burns: Second-degree burns affect the outer layer of the skin and the layer just underneath. These burns are more painful and can cause blistering.
• Third-degree burns: Third-degree burns affect all layers of the skin and can go all the way down to the muscle and even the bone. These burns cause the most pain and can lead to infection.

Causes of Burn Injuries

Burn injuries can be caused by a number of factors. Some of the causes include:

• Thermal Burns: Thermal burns are among the most common types of burns. They occur when the skin comes into contact with heat sources such as open flames, hot liquids, steam, or heated objects. House fires, cooking accidents, and scalding from hot beverages are frequent culprits.
• Chemical Burns: Chemical burns result from the skin or eyes coming into contact with corrosive chemicals, acids, alkalis, or even household cleaning products. Industries involving chemical handling and laboratories pose a higher risk of chemical burns.
• Electrical Burns: Electrical burns occur when an electric current passes through the body, causing injury. These can happen due to electrical accidents, faulty wiring, or direct contact with live electrical wires.
• Scald Burns: Scald burns occur when hot liquids or steam come into contact with the skin. This can happen while cooking, using hot water, or handling hot beverages.
