Burns may be the most painful injuries a person can experience. Burns can occur in a wide range of situations, including a workplace accident, a vehicle collision, or due to use of a faulty product. If you suffer a serious burn, the most important thing to do is seek immediate medical attention. Treatment can make your recovery faster and more effective.
Once you have medical attention, ask yourself how the burn happened – could someone else be to blame? For example, if another driver caused the collision that burned you, that driver should be held responsible for your medical bills. Burns are an especial danger for construction workers and others in manufacturing industries – and an unsafe work environment may be grounds for a civil lawsuit, holding the employer to blame.

Burn Injury Categorization and Severity
To understand the impact a burn injury can have on a person’s life, it is important to know how they are categorized. These terms are common knowledge, but let’s go over exactly what each one means.
First-degree burn: The least serious burns and also the most common. First-degree burns only damage the outer layer of skin, called the “epidermis,” not any tissue beneath. They usually heal within a week and do not typically require medical attention. First-degree burns include things like sunburn and a burn left behind after quickly touching a hot pan.
Second-degree burn: Second-degree burns are far more serious and damage both the epidermis and the layer of skin beneath it, called the “dermis.” Medical attention is usually required, and skin grafts may be needed to repair the damaged area. (A skin graft involves transplanting healthy skin over the burned area to help it heal.)
Third-degree burn: Third-degree burns destroy all three layers of skin and damage tissue beneath them – from nerves and blood vessels to muscles and bones. Medical treatment is always necessary with third-degree burns, and skin grafts are essentially required for these injuries. Painful treatments like debridement or reconstructive surgery will also be necessary.

The source of a burn injury may be…
Thermal: Caused by coming into contact with something hot, such as a flame, boiling water or steam, or heated objects.
Chemical: Caused by skin coming into contact with chemical irritants such as chlorine, bleach, and acid. Chemical burns are extremely painful and can cause additional damage to vulnerable body parts, such as the eyes.
Electrical: Caused when the body comes into contact with an electrical current. Internal injuries can also occur along with these burns.
Friction: Caused when skin rubs against another surface. They may happen in vehicle crashes, especially if someone is ejected from a vehicle. They are especially common for motorcyclists under the name “road rash.”
Severe burns can happen in an instant, but treating them can take years and leave you with overwhelming medical bills. If your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence—such as a reckless driver or a careless product manufacturer—a Los Angeles burn injury lawyer can help you hold the responsible party accountable. An experienced attorney will handle the complex legal process and negotiate with insurance companies so you can focus entirely on your physical and emotional recovery.
A dedicated Los Angeles burn injury attorney can assist you regardless of the severity or source of your burn. We handle cases involving all categorizations of burns, including:
Thermal Burns: Caused by contact with flames, boiling water, steam, or dangerously hot objects.
Chemical Burns: Caused by skin contact with harsh irritants like bleach, acid, or chlorine.
Electrical Burns: Sustained when the body comes into contact with a live electrical current.
Friction Burns (Road Rash): Commonly seen in motorcycle and bicycle accidents when the skin rubs harshly against the asphalt.
Whether you sustained a first-degree burn that left a lasting impact, a second-degree burn requiring skin grafts, or catastrophic third-degree burns requiring reconstructive surgery, our legal team is prepared to advocate for you.
Yes. Burns are a significant danger for construction workers and those in the manufacturing industry. If you were burned on the job due to an unsafe work environment, faulty equipment, or the carelessness of a third-party contractor, you may have grounds for a civil lawsuit beyond standard workers’ compensation. Consulting with a Los Angeles burn injury lawyer is the best way to uncover all avenues for financial compensation following a workplace accident.
