Burn injuries are classified by degree — first degree (superficial), second degree (partial thickness), third degree (full thickness), and fourth degree (involving bone and deep tissue). Third and fourth degree burns require extensive medical treatment including debridement, skin grafting, reconstructive surgery, and long-term rehabilitation. Psychological trauma, including PTSD and depression, is nearly universal in serious burn cases. The total cost of care — and the full impact on quality of life — must be comprehensively documented and claimed.
Burn injury liability depends on the cause of the injury. Negligent property owners may be liable for fire-related burns. Product manufacturers may be liable for defective appliances, vehicles, or chemical products causing burns. Employers may be liable for workplace fire and chemical exposure accidents. Our Chicago burn injury attorneys investigate every case thoroughly to identify all liable parties and all available insurance coverage.
