Burn Injury

An Experienced Pennsylvania Burn Injury Attorney Will Advocate for Victims — Tell Them You Mean Business

Household fires account for many burn injuries. But we have seen people in Pennsylvania severely burned during recreational activities or in work accidents. Even household chores involving gasoline engines, such operating a lawn mower or leaf blower, may lead to a burn injury.

A burn injury doesn't have to be a result of contact with fire. Restaurant patrons also can sustain burn injuries after consuming scalding liquids.

Wherever they may occur, burn injuries caused by fire, heat, chemicals, electricity, friction or liquids can be severe and lead to serious scarring and permanent disfigurement.

From First to Fourth Degree, a Burn Injury Can Range in Severity

Burn injuries range from minor to severe:

• First degree — Less serious burns that may include minor pain and redness of the skin
• Second degree — Burns causing blisters and superficial destruction of the dermis
• Third degree — Burns that extend into the deeper tissue, causing destruction of both the epidermis and the dermis
• Fourth degree — Deep tissue burns that completely destroy the skin and sometimes and sometimes damage muscle, fascia or bone
