We are burn injury specialists, burn injury lawyers. We handle accident cases involving burn injuries throughout California
Oftentimes, our burn injury cases involve third-degree burns. As a third-degree burn heals, the skin develops a thick-scabbed surface called eschar. We have found that around third-degree burns are usually first and second degree burns where several large blisters develop and then rupture as they heal. There is always a tremendous risk of infection in a burn case. Oftentimes, doctors will utilize the procedure known as escharotomy to cut through the charred skin so the healthy tissue underneath can obtain the blood flow it requires.
For very severe third-degree burn victims, this procedure is necessary in order to save the patient’s life. It is very very painful.
Another process used is hydrotherapy to treat burn victims. This therapy, known as either the tub room or the tanking room is a sterile room with lowering cranes above several stainless steel bath tubs filled with 200 gallons of Clorox, antibiotics, and water. This is the room where the cleaning and debridement of the skin occurs. This is necessary because in order for a third-degree burn to become healthy the skin must be scrubbed every day for months.
We have dealt with burn victims who have developed severe emotional distress. For most third-degree burn victims, the injury causes their lives to be turned upside down. It is almost impossible to return to a normal life after you have had significant third-degree burns.

Burn Injury Lawyer
Burn injuries can be devastating. They can leave a victim with pain and disfigurement that requires years of plastic surgery and medical treatment. Few injuries are initially more excruciating than those involving burns. When a burn injury occurs as a result of negligence, it is important that the victim seeks compensation with the assistance of a good Burn Injury Lawyer. Fires almost invariably result from some sort of negligence. The fired danger exists in the home, a factory, in the community, and even in the office.
Common Causes of Burn Injuries
- Chemical burns from spills or explosions
- House fires
- Gas explosions
- Machinery catching fire
- Fires resulting from motor vehicle accidents
- Radiation exposure
Degrees Of Burns
The skin is comprised of three layers, and the three main types of burns correlate with these, the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue:
- First degree burns: only affect the epidermis and is not usually serious.
- Second degree burns: affect the dermal layer, and usually results in blistering, swelling and some scarring.
- Third-degree burns: affect the subcutaneous tissue and are the most severe. The affected skin dies, blood vessels are damaged and nerve damage can be severe. Serious scarring is typical. If the burn area is extensive, death can result.
Sometimes a burn injury can extend down into the flesh beyond the layers of skin. When this occurs, muscle, bones, connective tissues and even vital arteries can be badly damaged. Burns of this nature are very often fatal.
