Common Causes of Burn Injuries
- Contact with fire, hot liquids, steam, etc. (classified as thermal burns)
- Contact with nuclear radiation or ultraviolet light (radiation burns)
- Contact with acid or alkali (chemical burns)
The diverse causes of burn injuries highlight the varying degrees of prevention measures that need to be taken both in domestic and occupational settings. Understanding the origin of a burn incident can provide crucial insights into its preventability and liability.
Types & Classifications of Burn Injuries
Although burns can be fatal, many burn injuries can heal completely with time and treatment. Burn injuries are classified into three different categories:
- First-degree burns
Burns in which just the first layer of skin is affected. The skin is reddened and normally heals in approximately one week. First-degree burns can still be extremely painful. - Second-degree burns
Burns that affect both the first and second layer of skin. The skin appears moist and will often blister with a second-degree burn. Pain is classified as severe for these types of burn injuries. - Third-degree burns
Burns that affect all layers of skin and even damage the tissue underneath the skin, including blood vessels and even muscle. Skin is white or black and appears dry. Third-degree burns always lead to permanent scarring. Pain is classified as extreme for anyone suffering a third-degree burn. However, because a third-degree burn may damage nerves and nerve endings, it can actually be less painful at first, and then the pain increases in severity.

FAQs About Burn Injuries
What Should I Do Immediately After Suffering a Burn Injury?
Immediate action following a burn injury is crucial to minimize damage and start the healing process. Begin by stopping the burning process — this may involve rolling on the ground if clothing is on fire or running the burned area under cool (not cold) water for at least 10 minutes. Avoid applying ice, as it can worsen the injury. Remove any constricting accessories, as swelling may occur. If the burn is severe, contact emergency services immediately. Seek medical attention to assess the damage and receive appropriate treatment.
How Can I Prove Negligence in a Burn Injury Incident?
Proving negligence in burn injury cases involves demonstrating that another party's actions or lack of actions directly caused the injury. Your lawyer will gather evidence such as eyewitness testimony, surveillance footage, incident reports, and expert opinions to build a strong argument. It's essential to document the scene and your injuries promptly and maintain detailed records of medical treatments and other related expenses to support your claim.
What Are the Long-Term Effects of Burn Injuries?
Burn injuries can have long-term physical and emotional effects. Physically, victims may experience chronic pain, loss of mobility, or scarring that requires reconstructive surgery. Psychologically, the trauma of the injury can lead to depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder. Ongoing therapy and rehabilitation may be necessary, which significantly impacts the victim's lifestyle. Seeking professional support and connecting with community resources can facilitate coping and adjustment.
Are There Legal Time Limits for Filing a Burn Injury Claim in Colorado?
Colorado's statute of limitations typically gives burn injury victims two years from the incident date to file a personal injury claim. However, this timeframe can vary based on specific circumstances, such as the discovery of injuries later or the involvement of government entities. Consulting with a burn injury lawyer as soon as possible is recommended to ensure timely filing and to protect your right to seek compensation.
How Is Compensation Calculated for Burn Injuries in Denver?
Compensation for burn injuries considers several factors, including medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, loss of earnings, and the impact of physical and emotional suffering. An attorney will work to accurately calculate these damages, often consulting with medical professionals to understand the long-term effects. It is crucial for victims to keep detailed records of all expenses and impacts to present a comprehensive picture during compensation negotiations.
