Burn Injury Severity Ratings
How bad is your burn injury? You will obviously feel like your burn is severe, but the question of how bad it is objectively is important. In medical contexts, burn injuries are classified by their severity, which we need to know while working on your burn injury case.
Burn injuries are sorted by degrees, including:
- First-degree: A first-degree burn is mild and should heal easily with basic first aid in the home. It will not justify an injury claim in most cases.
- Second-degree: A second-degree burn is moderate and should be treated in urgent care. If it heals incorrectly or causes an infection, then it might justify an injury claim.
- Third-degree: A third-degree burn is severe, and emergency medical attention is required. It can be fatal if not treated correctly and immediately. Most burn injury claims involve a third-degree burn.
- Fourth-degree: A fourth-degree burn is typically not survivable because of the amount of tissue destroyed. A wrongful death claim filed by the victim’s family might follow.
The degree assigned to your burn injury is important because it directly reflects how much you have suffered because of the burn. If the opposition wants to argue that you must be exaggerating your hardships, then it will have a much harder time if medical experts have classified your burn as third-degree. We can work closely with medical professionals to understand the extent of your burn.
Financial Compensation Owed to You
Our lawyers can also work with third-party financial experts when building your case. We need to know just how much financial loss you can expect far into the future because of your catastrophic injury. For example, if you can never hold gainful employment again because of your injury and disability, then your case’s value needs to factor that in.
Calculating your claim’s value will consider these damages and more:
- Past and future medical care
- Past and future lost wages
- Permanent disability consequences
- Pain, suffering, and traumatization
