Degrees of Burn Injury from Accident in Lithia Springs, GA

The severity of the burns you suffered from a serious accident in Lithia Springs, GA means more than just how long your recovery will take. Depending on the degree of burns your body experienced, you may be in for weeks, months or even years of recovery time. Longer recovery means greater emotional and financial losses for your family.

3 Degrees of Burn Injuries After an Accident in Lithia Springs, GA

The severity of your burn makes a difference when you file for a personal injury claim to seek damages.

First-degree burns - usually surface wounds, only damaging the top layer of skin like sunburn. They typically heal within a few days or a week and rarely cause serious medical expenses.
Second-degree burns - may need a few days in the hospital, and if your skin and damaged tissue can't grow back, you may need additional procedures to graft new skin onto the wounds.
Third degree burns - could require months in the hospital receiving numerous skin and tissue treatments. Even after the wounds heal, permanent scarring and disfigurement are almost guaranteed, often causing emotional distress later in life.

If you're the victim or family member of a loved one who suffered serious burns in an accident where another party is at fault, you need to know your rights. Dealing with burn injuries alone doesn't have to happen to you when you seek professional help from a personal injury attorney.
