Due to the permanent nature and pain associated with these types of injuries, settlements tend to have a higher settlement assessment. Where the injury occurred and how it looks dramatically affects how much money the jury is likely to award. For instance, clients with serious burns or scars on their face will receive more than a scar that is typically covered by clothing.

 

Scarring in open and obvious areas can have a serious emotional impact on the client and is more likely to affect the client’s ability to earn an income and find employment.

 

There are four degrees of burns. First degree burns are the least serious and are characterized by affecting only the superficial layer of the skin. Fourth degree burns are associated with injury to bone, muscle, and nerves and are the most serious. Treatment for these injuries range from simple pain relievers to admittance into specialized burn centers.
