WHAT TO DO AFTER SUFFERING A BAD BURN INJURY IN CALIFORNIA
A minor burn injury may not be a reason to file a claim against a defendant, even if someone else caused the burns. Minor damage with small medical bills may not be enough to make the time, money, and effort of a claim worthwhile. If you suffered serious or catastrophic burns, however, filing a claim could be the best way to obtain compensation for your major losses. Taking the correct steps after suffering a burn injury may be imperative in your case.
-
Document your accident:
Write down what happened and take photographs, if possible. If a product exploded in use, for example, document how you were using it and where you purchased the product. -
Go to the hospital:
Bad burns require immediate medical attention. Even a first-degree burn requires medical care if it is larger than four inches long or in a sensitive place, such as the face or hands. -
Speak to a Burn Injury Lawyer:
Contacting a burn injury Lawyer from your home or the hospital can connect you to professionals who can guide you through the next steps. A personal burn injury law firm can investigate your accident for signs of negligence to identify the defendant.

Degrees of burns
Signs and symptoms of a burn injury vary based on the degree of the burn. The most common signs of a burn injury include swelling, blistering and scarring. In the worst cases, death can result. Burn injuries also commonly lead to infections because of the damage done to the top protective layers of skin.
Just as signs and symptoms vary based on the degree of the burn, so too do treatment options for varying types of burns. For mild burns, over-the-counter creams can be used to treat any pain, swelling and potential infections, for more severe burns, cleaning and skin grafting may be required. These can be lengthy, painful and expensive processes.
