Types of Burn Injuries

Burn injuries fall into one of three categories depending on the degree of severity of the injury:

  • First degree burns: Only affect the epidermis (outer layer of skin), causing redness and pain. First degree burns will usually heal on their own, although first aid treatment including antibacterial ointments and bandages may be applied.
  • Second degree burns: Damages the epidermis and the second layer of skin, or dermis. Causes swelling, blisters, and/or red, white, or splotchy colored skin. Second degree burns can often be painful, and more severe cases may result in scarring.
  • Third degree burns: Burn injuries that reach down to the fat layer below the skin, or in more severe cases to underlying tissues including muscle and bone. Affected areas can look white, brown, or black. Third degree burns usually destroy nerve cells, causing the affected areas to become numb. Treatment involves intensive wound care and often skin grafts. Severe cases of extensive third degree burns to extremities may require amputation.

Frequently Asked Questions about Burn Injury in Philadelphia

What is the statute of limitations on burn injury claims?

Under Pennsylvania’s and New Jersey’s statute of limitations on injury claims, you normally have two years from the date of the accident or incident that resulted in your burn injury. A lawsuit that is filed after the statute of limitations has expired on your claim will likely end up being permanently dismissed by the court, and you will lose your right to financial recovery from those liable for your expenses and losses.

What are my rights if I was partially at fault for the accident that resulted in my burn injury?

If you are found partially to blame for the accident or incident that caused your burn injury, you may still be able to pursue a claim for compensation. Under the comparative fault rule in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, you are still eligible to file a claim against another party or other parties, so long as you were not more at fault for your injuries than they were. However, under the rule, you also may not recover compensation for the percentage of your losses that correspond to your share of fault for your injuries. For example, if you incurred $200,000 in losses for a burn injury that you were 25 percent at fault for, you will be held liable for $50,000 of your losses to reflect your share of fault.
