Sacramento Burn Injury Attorney
Burn injuries are some of the most devastating and painful injuries a person can sustain, both physically and emotionally. The American Burn Association estimates that approximately 4,500 people die of burn injuries and more than 1.1 million people require medical treatment for burn injuries each year, with approximately 25,000 victims needing long-term treatment at a burn treatment center. If you or a member of your family has suffered a burn injury caused by another’s negligence or a defective product, a burn injury attorney may be able to help you recover compensation for your medical expenses, time away from work, and the pain and suffering you have endured.
Types of Burn Injuries
At Estey & Bomberger, we have represented victims of all types of burns, including:
- Children’s burn injuries
- Electrical burns
- Flash burns
- Chemical burns
- Cold burns
- Inhalation injuries
- Gas explosion burns
- Vehicle accidents
- Construction accidents.
Burn Injury Classifications
To differentiate less-serious burns from serious burns, doctors classify burn injuries by their severity:
- First-degree burns: Least serious type of burn; outer layer of skin not burned through. Causes redness of the skin surface. Swelling and pain are sometimes present.
- Second-degree burns: Produce severe pain and swelling; blisters may develop and skin may take on a splotchy appearance.
- Third-degree burns: Cause permanent tissue damage. All layers of skin, including fat, muscle and even bone may be damaged. Most serious type of burn injury.
Specialized Care for Burn Injuries
Victims of burn injuries have unique and complex needs. Treatment may include critical care, intermediate care, and outpatient care and rehabilitation. Burn injury trauma patients may require general surgery, cosmetic surgery, grafting, and thrombolytic therapy (blood clot therapy). In addition to physical wounds, scars from burns can have a immense emotional impact. At Estey & Bomberger, our Sacramento burn injury lawyers realize the emotional impact of burn injuries, including:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Embarrassment
- Mental anguish
- Posttraumatic stress disorder.
Burn Wound Infections
Burns take a great deal of time to heal, and throughout the healing process infections are a serious concern. Up to 10,000 people die of burn-related infections each year, including:
- Catheter Infections
- Fungal infections
- Myonecrosis
- Pneumonia
- Sepsis
- Toxic Shock Syndrome
- Urinary Tract Infections
- Viral infections.
Burns Caused by Defective Products
Consumer products cause electrocution and fires, resulting in serious property damage, burn injury and even death. If a product was manufactured or designed in such a way that it is dangerous or hazardous and causes or contributes to your burn injury, the manufacturer, distributor, supplier, wholesaler and the retail store may all potentially be liable. Burn injuries can come from defective consumer products such as:
- Automobile gas tanks
- Car seat heaters
- Cooking equipment
- Flammable liquids
- Gas-fired space heaters
- Kerosene heaters
- Mattresses and bedding
- Portable electric heaters
- Upholstered furniture
- Wood and coal burning stoves and fireplaces.
