What Qualifies as a ‘Catastrophic Burn Injury?’

While first degree burns, like sunburns and small blisters, can usually be treated at home with store-bought medications, more severe burns require hospitalization and intensive treatments.

A serious burn injury can be any of the following:

  • Severe or deep second-degree burns
    • This includes burns that have gone to deeper tissues and burns that are larger than 2-3 inches
  • All third-degree burns
  • Burns that cover more than 15% of an adult’s body or more than 10% of a child’s body
  • Burns on the hands, face or groin
  • Burns on someone who is very young or elderly

After seeking medical treatment for your burns, it is important to prioritize your healing and recovery. Once you are in stable condition, contact a personal injury attorney serving Tulsa as soon as possible. You have suffered extensively from your serious burn injuries and deserve justice.

What Causes Severe Burns?

Unfortunately, burns happen relatively frequently in Tulsa Oklahoma. Often this is in the form of a small burn while cooking, while lighting a candle, etc. More catastrophic burns, however, can result from any of the following

  • Chemicals
  • Electricity
  • Friction
  • Radiation
  • Hot objects
  • Hot liquids (scalding)

If your injuries were also the result of another party’s negligence, you may have a foundation to pursue a lawsuit. The attorneys at Carabin Shaw are experienced in personal injury cases that involve catastrophic burn injuries in Tulsa OK, and will fight hard on behalf of you and your family.

Who Can Be Held Responsible for Damages?

Depending on the cause of the accident, Oklahoma law dictates that negligent landlords, employers, product manufacturers, another driver and more can be held liable for your catastrophic burn injuries. To determine the at-fault party, however, it is vital to have an experienced Tulsa burn accident attorney on your side.

A lawyer is responsible for establishing negligence, proving fault and obtaining the maximum compensation possible to recover from your catastrophic injuries. To prove fault, your attorney will need to present evidence that outlines the following: the other party owed you a duty of care, they broke that duty of care, you suffered an injury, and that the injury was directly caused by that breach of care.
