About Burn Injuries

Though the circumstances surrounding burn injuries can vary, the types of treatments necessary are usually similar. Our personal injury attorneys have worked with victims and their families afflicted with life-changing injuries. Serious burn injuries can involve:

• Medically induced comas
• Escharotomy or fasciotomy
• Debridement
• Skin grafts
• Frequent bandage changes
• Scar revision surgeries
• Rehabilitation for joint stiffness

The road to recovery from a burn injury is long and, unfortunately, painful. Burn injury victims risk complications such as infections, hypothermia, dehydration, medical amputations, and organ failure. Even after discharge from the burn unit, a victim with sweat glands that have been destroyed or compromised must deal with risks associated with warm temperatures and overexertion. Skin pigmentation may never return for some victims, requiring them to stay out of the sun. Tendons can remain stiff causing difficulty walking or moving.
