At the Barton Law Firm, we understand that you work
hard to support your family. In Houston, Texas that may mean working in
the oilfield, offshore, or in a chemical plant. The Barton Law Firm
has experience with all types of workplace and non-workplace burns. If
you are burned at work, your injuries can range from the least severe
burn to the most severe and life-threatening. Many home or vehicular
incidents result in burns due to negligence or a product defect.
Types of Burns :
First Degree Burn : First degree burns are the least serious. First degree burns are similar
to the burns you may get when sunbathing or cooking in your kitchen.
This type of burn only affects the outer layer of your skin.
Second Degree Burn : Second degree burns are much more serious. Second degree burns are
caused when you come in contact with scalding water or liquids. You can
also get second degree burns from fire, sudden explosions, or car
accident fires.
Third Degree Burns – Third degree burns are
extremely severe. Third degree burns are caused when you are in a
building fire, chemical fire, radiation fire, electrical fire, or gas
fire. They can also be caused when you come in contact with steaming or
boiling liquids.
Fourth Degree Burns – Fourth degree burns are
life-threatening and are the most severe. Fourth degree burns can be
caused when you are in an extensive building fire or experience a high
voltage electrical shock.
