Burn injuries come in three degrees (or four, according to some sources). A first-degree burn is the most minor and typically does not require professional medical care. A second-degree burn can cause blistering and needs professional care to prevent infections. Third-degree burns are catastrophic and can result in permanent scars, disfigurement, loss of limb or death. Burns also come in four distinct types.

If your lawyer succeeds in proving the defendant’s fault or liability for your burn injuries or a loved one’s death, you and your family could receive compensation for several different damages.
