Types and Degrees of Burns

Burns can occur anywhere, but are often categorized as one of the following:

• Thermal burn: Involves contact with a heated object (metal, steam, flame, etc.)
• Chemical burn: Occurs when skin comes in contact with a toxic/hazardous substance
• Flash burn: Involves an explosion
• Inhalation injury: Happens when a person breathes in fumes from chemicals or smoke

The severity of the burn is indicated by degree, determined by the layers of skin that are impacted.

• 1st degree burn: These burns are common, and most can be easily treated at home.
• 2nd degree burn: More severe than first degree, these burns affect the next layer of skin and depending on the size, will likely require a visit to the doctor.
• 3rd and 4th degree burns: These burns are severe and not only impact the skin, but often the bone and muscle underneath. They require immediate medical attention to prevent infection.

Whether you’re seeking a 2nd degree burn injury attorney or need legal guidance after a more severe burn, David Taylor Law in South Carolina can help get your future back on track.
