Serious burns leave scars and contractures that are so disfiguring the victim may become isolated and withdrawn, and unable to work because of the stares and discomfort when other people see the horrific damage. Visible damage and disfigurement is often only part of the story; burns may damage the internal organs and cause other complications, some of which are life-threatening. Infection is the most frequent complication, along with sepsis, organ failure, lung problems, shock, amputations, and gangrene. Nearly half a million people are treated for burns annually in the United States.

Burn injuries frequently occur in industrial settings, such as oilfields, refineries, and construction sites.

Serious third-degree burns, also known as full-thickness burns, are caused by damage to all layers of the skin and can extend into underlying tissues. They can result from various sources, including:

• Fire or Flame Exposure: Direct contact with open flames, such as from house fires, explosions, or vehicle fires, is a common cause of third-degree burns.
• Hot Liquids or Steam (Scalds): Contact with boiling water, hot oil, or steam can cause severe burns, especially when the hot substance stays on the skin for an extended period.
• Electrical Burns: High-voltage electrical currents, such as those from power lines or faulty electrical equipment, can cause deep burns and extensive tissue damage.
• Chemical Burns: Strong acids, alkalis, or other corrosive substances can cause third-degree burns. These burns often result from industrial accidents, exposure to household cleaners, or chemical spills.
• Prolonged Contact with Hot Objects: Contact with heated metal, glass, or other hot objects, such as an iron or heating pad, can lead to severe burns if the skin is exposed for a prolonged period.
• Radiation Burns: Exposure to high levels of radiation, such as from X-rays, radiation therapy, or nuclear explosions, can cause third-degree burns.
• Extreme Cold (Frostbite): Severe frostbite can cause damage similar to third-degree burns, where the skin and underlying tissues freeze and die due to prolonged exposure to extremely cold temperatures.
• Friction Burns: High-speed accidents, such as motorcycle or bicycle crashes, can cause friction burns, where the skin is scraped off by contact with a rough surface. If deep enough, these can result in third-degree burns.

Each of these causes can result in significant tissue damage, requiring immediate and intensive medical treatment to prevent complications such as infection, loss of function, or even death.

Severe burns that cover a large portion of the body require specialized care. The prognosis for a burn injury is significantly influenced by the victim's age and the extent of the body's surface area affected. According to the American Burn Association, patients with the following conditions should receive treatment at a specialized burn center:

• Individuals with partial-thickness burns covering 10% or more of their total body surface area (TBSA)
• People of any age with full-thickness burns
• Burns located on the face, hands, feet, groin, genital area, or those that encircle any part of the body
• Burns accompanied by inhalation injuries that impact the airway or lungs
• Burns are notoriously expensive to treat. The average cost of the initial hospital stay for a serious burn covering 30 percent of the body can vary widely depending on the severity of the burn, the length of the hospital stay, and the type of care required. However, it is generally very expensive. For example:
• The American Burn Association estimates that the cost for treating severe burns can exceed $200,000 for the initial hospitalization. This figure can rise significantly if complications arise or if the patient requires specialized care or extended stays.
• The National Institutes of Health (NIH) also reported similar figures, indicating that severe burn injuries involving a significant portion of the body can lead to costs that range from $200,000 to $1 million, depending on the level of care and complications.



These costs are just for the initial hospital stay and do not include the expenses related to rehabilitation, follow-up surgeries, or ongoing medical care, which can add significantly to the total cost.

Your serious burn injuries are likely effect on your life in many ways, none of them good. In severe cases, the real tragedy of a burn is the mental anguish, social isolation, and loss of so many of the things that make life enjoyable for most people.

You deserve an award of an amount of money that will give you the best chance to recover some semblance of a normal life, with whatever medical procedures that may become necessary and adequate living expenses for you and your family when you can’t work.
