Representing Victims of Burn Injuries in St. Louis

Burns are extremely painful injuries that can take weeks, months, and even years to recover from; in fact, some victims are left with emotional and physical scars that last a lifetime. The ongoing treatment for chronic pain and other issues can be financially devastating to burn victims and their loved ones.

At The Hayden Law Firm we believe you should not have to bear this burden alone. We work to hold negligent parties accountable for the damages they cause and ensure our clients have the financial resources they need for medical treatment, rehabilitation, lost earnings, pain and suffering, and other damages.

Types of Burn Injuries

Burn injuries are categorized by four degrees as follows:

  • First-degree burns: Minor burns at the surface level, such as a sunburn.
  • Second-degree burns: Impacts both the upper and lower layers of the skin; can cause permanent scars.
  • Third-degree burns: Serious burn that affects all lawyers of the skin and results in tissue damage; often requires extensive treatment and even skin grafting.
  • Fourth-degree burns: Affects all layers of skin, nerves and muscles, usually resulting in death or permanent disfigurement.

Most second-to-fourth degree burns require ongoing skin grafting and intensive medical treatment to effectively heal. Chronic medical conditions are expensive to treat and can take a serious physical and emotional toll on the victims.
