Santa Monica Burn Injury Attorney
Representing Burn Injury Victims
A burn injury refers to a type of injury to the flesh that is caused by heat, chemicals, light (as in the sun or a tanning bed), radiation, electricity, or friction. According to the American Burn Association, approximately 500,000 burn injuries receive medical treatment in the United States each year. Although most burn injuries affect only the skin (the epidermal tissue and the dermis), deeper tissues such as the muscle, bone, and blood vessels can be injured as well. If you have suffered a burn injury as a result of someone else's negligence, or a defective product, you should seek the advice of a Santa Monica personal injury attorney as soon as possible.

Complications Caused by Burn Injuries
Burn injuries are categorized as: first, second, third and fourth-degree burns, with third-degree burns being the most severe. Less serious burn injuries may be treated with first aid, while others may require specialized treatment at a burn center.
Proper care and management of a burn injury are extremely important; they are painful and, without proper care, may result in disfiguring and disabling scarring, amputation of the affected body parts, severe function impairment, a local infection, gangrene, contractures (may require skin grafting), or in severe cases death.
