What is Burn Injuries?
Tissue damage caused by heat, chemicals, electricity, radiation, or friction, classified by severity from first-degree (superficial) to fourth-degree (bone-deep).
Understanding Burn Injuries
Burn severity depends on depth, size, and location. Serious burns require specialized burn unit treatment, skin grafts, and extensive rehabilitation. Victims may suffer permanent scarring, disfigurement, and psychological trauma. Burn injuries often result in substantial damages.
