What You Need to Know About Burn Injuries

The World Health Organization, the National Institutes of Health, and the American Burn Association found that:

• Approximately 180,000 deaths are attributable to burns per year – a global public health crisis.
• Annually, over 486,000 Americans are estimated to have non-fatal burns severe enough to receive hospitalization.
• Non-fatal burn injuries are life-long morbidity, often causing long-term hospitalization, disability and disfigurement.
• Burns of any severity can lead to profound mental health challenges, as the burn victim may experience depression, suicidality, anxiety, PTSD, and low self-esteem.

Burn injuries of any sort, including those received from the carelessness or neglect of a third party, can be graded on a scale related to burn depth:

• First-Degree:
  • Superficial
  • Does Not Blister or Scar
• Second-Degree
  • Partial or Intermediate Thickness
  • May Scar or Require Surgery
• Third-Degree
  • Full Thickness
  • Almost to Muscle
  • Kills Nerves
  • Requires Skin Grafts
• Fourth-Degree
  • Full Thickness
  • To Muscle or Bone
  • Loss of Limb
  • Likely Fatal

What Compensation Am I Entitled To After Suffering a Burn Injury?

As discussed previously, the burn severity can affect the economic and non-economic damages you can receive in your case. As the state of Georgia has not had caps on damages in personal injury lawsuits since 2010, we will always attempt to recover the maximum compensation possible in your situation.

This may include covering damages such as:

• Medical Bills and Rehabilitation
• Future Medical Treatment
• Past Lost Income and Future Wages
• Anguish, Pain, and Suffering
• Loss of Consortium
