Burn injuries can be caused by fire, chemicals, hot liquids, electrical accidents, or even by an air bag that deploys quickly and strikes exposed skin. A first degree burn is comparable to a mild sunburn. Although a first degree burn can normally be cared for at home, it’s advisable to consult a doctor. Second degree burns run deeper than first degree burns and involve more layers of skin. They are rated in severity by their size and a second degree burn covers more than three inches of skin, it requires medical attention. Third degree burns, the most severe kind of burn, usually require hospitalization, skin grafts, and reconstructive surgery, especially if they are large.

Enlisting the help of a trusted injury attorney in Irving can help ensure you begin the process as quickly as possible.
It is important to not agree to any quick settlements that are offered by an insurance company. It may be a fraction of what you could be awarded if your case went to court. When you sign for and agree to a settlement, you are signing away your legal rights and any chance of further recovery. What seems like a lot of money now might not suffice if your burns are severe and you need skin grafts or other reconstructive surgery.
