Leading San Francisco Burn Injury Lawyers
Burn injuries sustained in fires and explosions are painful, disfiguring, and emotionally traumatic, and require long recovery times and extensive rehabilitation. Burn injury specialists assess the level of damage, and corresponding treatment and rehabilitation needs, by considering the depth of the burn (1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th degree), the percentage of the body affected, and the specific body parts affected.
Third and fourth degree burns destroy underlying muscle tissue and nerve endings, cause permanent scarring, and usually require skin grafts. Burns that affect a large proportion of the body can take months to heal and leave the victim permanently disabled. Burns that affect the head, face, and neck can lead to long-term psychological trauma, and those that affect the limbs may require amputation.
