As personal injury specialists, our burn claims solicitors have an in-depth knowledge and understanding of this area of law.

Burn Claims Solicitors

The majority of burns are caused by heat via fire or liquid. It’s possible however for intense cold and chemicals to cause burns. Severity depending, burns fall into four categories: 

  • First Degree Burns: The least serious, generally affecting surface level skin.
  • Second Degree Burns: Extending deeper, second degree burns are classed as superficial, partial thickness or deep partial thickness.
  • Third Degree Burns: Known as full thickness they extend through the entire dermis and can be permanent.
  • Fourth Degree Burns: More painful, burns travel further through the skin before reaching underlying fat, muscle and even bone. Effects are permanent.

When considering burn claims, the amount of compensation you’ll receive is based on seriousness. We’ll help you claim for injuries, medical costs and loss of earnings.
