Miami Burn Injury Attorney
Millions of Americans are victims of burn injuries every year, with more than half requiring extensive medical care. Burn injuries are catastrophic injuries that are often extremely painful, traumatic and may require years of rehabilitation, painful skin grafts and skin reconstruction. Victims who do survive a burn injury can face severe facial deformities, loss of limbs and bodily functions, and severe depression. Burn injuries can also shorten a person’s lifespan and will in most cases decrease their quality of life.
There are three different types of burns: first degree, second degree and third degree - all three of which affect the human body and skin in various ways. Third degree burns are the most serious and will require expert medical care and professional attention. In addition, burn injury victims in most cases can also suffer from heat inhalation, smoke inhalation, or toxin inhalation - all three of which can cause severe internal damage.
