Types of Burns

Burn injuries can vary in severity and are often caused by different sources. Understanding the type of burn is important for proper treatment and potential legal action if the injury was caused by someone else’s negligence.

Types of burns include:

Thermal burns: These occur when the skin comes into contact with a very hot source, leading to cell tissue death or charring from extreme temperatures.
Radiation burns: These burns stem from exposure to radiation sources that damage cells.
Chemical burns: Occur when harsh chemicals, typically strong acids or bases, come into contact with skin or eyes.
Electrical burns: These are caused by an electric current passing through the body, which can damage organs internally.
Friction burns: These result from the skin scraping against a rough surface with enough force to cause both a scrape and heat-based injury.

If you've sustained a burn due to negligence or an accident, seeking immediate medical care is essential. Be sure to also consult with our burn injury attorney in Des Moines to explore your legal options.

What Are the Long-Term Complications of Burn Injuries?

Severe burn injuries can lead to lasting physical, emotional, and psychological challenges. While initial treatment focuses on healing the wounds, many survivors continue to face complications long after the burn has healed.

Long-term complications of burn injuries include:

Loss of certain physical abilities
Chronic pain or nerve damage
Depression
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Disfigurement
Scarring
Loss of muscle strength
And more

We understand the lasting complications that can follow a serious burn injury. That’s why our burn injury attorneys in Des Moines take the time to fully evaluate your case and pursue the maximum compensation available for your current needs and for the long-term challenges you may face.
