A burn
is an injury that is caused by electricity, heat,
chemicals, radiation, or gases. Burns can be considered
one of the most painful non-fatal injuries endured.
Nerve endings are damaged from a burn, which is
why the extreme pain is experienced. Every year
in the U.S. millions of people are burnt, and
of those million burn victims, thousands die as
a result of the burns. Burns, behind automobile
crashes and falls, is the leading cause of unintentional
death in the U.S.
Burn injuries
can affect other functions, including muscles,
nerves, bones, and blood vessels, as well as the
respiratory system. Injuring the skin, burns impair
the body's normal body temperature, thermal regulation,
joint function, fluid balance, manual dexterity,
and physical appearance.
A burn
is classified by the method that the burn was
caused and the degree of the burn. The degree
of a burn can vary from first-degree burns to
third degree burns. When only the outer layer
of skin is injured it is classified as a first-degree
burn. Second-degree burns have penetrated the
first layer of skin and the second layer. The
most painful and severe burn are third degree
burns that involved every layer of skin, destroying
all the nerve endings. As the burns heal there
will be dense scarring and possible skin grafting.
Burns
can be the direct result of a personal injury,
holding another individual or company liable for
the suffering endured. The source and cause of
the fire or accident that caused the burn will
need to be determined for a burn personal injury
case.
