A burn injury can be debilitating and can severely affect a person’s quality of life both emotionally and physically. Our Dallas Texas burn injury attorneys at Titans Legal can help you financially recover from burn injuries incurred due to the negligence of another.
Burn injuries are among the most debilitating and painful skin injuries one can suffer. Heat, chemicals, and fire can cause unexpected damage and injury to anyone and can cause long-lasting and sometimes permanent scars. Internal burns and respiratory issues are also possible side effects that can be compensated for by the insurance company.
Burns Are Typically Categorized Into Different Levels
- First-degree burn: Mild damage that affects only the outer layer of skin (also known as the epidermis).
- Second-degree burn: Involves the outer layer of the skin as well as part of the lower layer of the skin (the dermis).
- Third-degree burns: Deep tissue damage to both the epidermis and dermis that can even cause “charred” or numbed skin and long-lasting injury. Often a widespread thickness with a white, leathery appearance.
- Fourth-degree burns: Often affects ligaments, tendons, and bones, and can be deadly.
If you or a loved one are the victim of a burn injury due to another person’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses. Please speak to an attorney before you speak with an insurance adjuster and before you sign any documents.
