Degrees Of Burn Injuries

Burn injuries are classified into three main degrees based on their severity.

• First-degree burns affect the outer skin layer (epidermis), causing redness and pain.
• Second-degree burns extend into the second skin layer (dermis), causing blisters, swelling and severe pain.
• Third-degree burns destroy all skin layers and may harm underlying tissues – they may appear white, charred or leathery and are often painless due to nerve damage.

More severe or extensive burns than these typically require specialized treatment. Age and the percentage of the surface area involved are two critical factors affecting the outlook of a burn injury. Children younger than five and adults older than 60 are at higher risk for severe complications and mortality due to their more vulnerable physiological conditions.

There are several sources of burn injuries. Examples include:

• Thermal burns: From exposure to direct heat sources like flames, hot liquids or steam
• Chemical burns: From coming into contact with strong acids, alkalis or solvents
• Electrical burns: From electrical current contact in the workplace or from defective equipment
• Radiation burns: From prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays or other radiation sources

Burn injuries can lead to scarring, disfigurement, extreme pain, mobility limitations and poor quality of life. A fair injury award can help you manage the potential consequences.

Signs Of Head Injuries

Head injuries range from mild to severe and present various symptoms. Unfortunately, symptoms can be delayed, possibly making a head injury harder to identify.

Mild injuries may introduce headaches, dizziness, confusion and loss of consciousness. More severe head injuries can cause prolonged unconsciousness, severe headaches, repeated vomiting, seizures, limb weakness or numbness and profound confusion.

Types of head injuries include:

• Concussions: Temporary disruption of function
• Skull fractures: Breaks in the skull
• Intracranial hematomas: Blood clots in or around the brain

They can arise from premises incidents (slips-and-falls), vehicle accidents, sports injuries and assaults.

Understanding The Statute Of Limitations

Maryland law gives you a deadline to file a personal injury claim. If you sustain an injury in an accident, you must file a claim within three years from the date of the injury. Many things can happen within that time. Perhaps you’ve run into financial issues related to your treatments. Or maybe you’ve later found out that your injuries are far more severe than initially diagnosed. Either way, you can still pursue a claim within those three years. Working with me can help you complete this process and ensure your claim meets the right time frame.
