One type of injury that can occur from a premises liability accident are various degrees of burns to the body. First degree burns are considered more minor and affect only the skin, second degree burns into deeper layers of the skin, and third degree burns are the most serious and can affect deep tissue beyond the skin layers. This can cause permanent damage and scarring, or possibly even surgery. The scarring can also affect the psychological well-being of a person, depending on how visible it is in day-to-day life. In your lawsuit, you can file an injury claim for your burns to recover the damages and costs that it has caused you.

Burns can affect you physically by causing you lots of pain in that area beyond the time of the injury, due to its severity or sensitivity. Also, it can be psychologically debilitating since you may have lowered self-esteem, self-consciousness, anxiety, and more over the appearance of the burn. Depending on your occupation, this may also take a toll on your earning capacity. You are able to recover the lost income that you incurred in the process of treating and recovering from your injuries by showing your regular pay stubs and W-2 forms. You may also recover the medical expenses or therapy sessions that you paid by showing their billing.
