“People come to us at the hardest moments of their lives. My job is to give them strength, fight for what’s right, and make sure their voice is heard where it matters most—in court.”
The results of a burn accident can be devastating and may result in one of the three levels of burn classifications:
A first-degree burn is the least serious of all burns and involves only the outer layer of skin. The symptoms of a first-degree burn are generally mild and may include red skin, swelling, and pain.
A second-degree burn occurs when the burn exceeds the first layer of skin and reaches the second layer. Second-degree burn injuries may result in blisters on the skin, a red and sometimes splotchy appearance, swelling and intense pain.
Injuries resulting from a third-degree burn are the most serious. The burn injury victim may experience damage to all layers of the skin, plus muscle, tissue, and bone. They may also experience difficulty breathing or other toxic effects resulting from smoke inhalation.
