Burned On The Job

Welders, cooks and mechanics are just a few of the workers in Georgia who face a risk of getting burned on the job. Burn injuries are painful. Physical and psychological trauma is not uncommon with severe burns. If you are burned at work, you may face lengthy rehabilitation and in extreme cases, reconstructive surgery. Injuries sometimes can be fatal, which may result in a wrongful death lawsuit.

Degrees of Severity in Burn Injuries

The severity of a burn injury can vary, with first degree burns being the least serious and fourth degree burns inflicting the most damage.

• First degree burns:  First degree burns are less serious burns that may include minor pain and redness of the skin.
• Second degree burns:  Second degree burns cause blisters and superficial destruction of the dermis.
• Third degree burns:  Third degree burns extend into the deeper tissue, causing destruction of both the epidermis and the dermis
• Fourth degree burns:  Fourth degree burns are the most severe, causing deep tissue burns that completely destroy the skin and sometimes damage muscle, fascia or bone.

Common Workplace Burn Injuries Include:

• Chemical burns
• Scalding
• Electrical burns
• Explosions
