Types of Burns

First Degree Burns

The last time you had sunburn would be an example of a First-degree burn. This type of burn is red and very sensitive upon touch. Also, the skin will appear lightened where light pressure is applied. First-degree burns are of minimal tissue damage and are considered surface (epidermis) burns. These burns will typically cause pain, redness and swelling.

Second Degree Burns

This type of burn is more serious than a first-degree burn. A Second-degree burn affects both the epidermis (outer-layer) and the dermis (under lying layer of skin). This type of burn typically causes redness, pain, swelling and blisters. Often these burns will affect sweat glands and hair follicles. When not properly treated, a second-degree burn can result in swelling and decreased blood flow in the trauma tissue.

Third Degree Burns

A third-degree burns goes a layer deeper than a second-degree burn. Therefore it affects and causes trauma to the epidermis, dermis and hypodermis. Typically the skin becomes charred or will have a translucent white color. With this type of burn there will be coagulated vessels visible just below the skin surface. Burn areas of the third-degree burn can be numb or very painful. Third-degree burns are very slow to heal due the severe trauma to the skin tissue and structures. Scarring with third-degree burns is almost certain.

Types of Burns

Smoke Inhalation Injuries

Fire smoke is very dangerous due to the amount of toxic substances which it contains. Fire has been associated with 3 different types of inhalation injuries. Many of times a fire survivor will have suffered inhalation injuries and external burns. Obviously the chance of these injuries being fatal increase significantly when combined. The three types of inhalation injuries are:

1.) Trauma from Heat Inhalation

A lung burn occurs when hot air is directly inhaled. Typically, this type of thermal inhalation injury affects only the upper airways, because the trachea shields the lung from thermal inhalation. Steam has a greater chance at being inhaled beyond the upper airways and into the secondary airways because it has a greater thermal capacity than dry air. Thermal inhalation can also take place through the nose causing damage to the mucous membranes.

2.) Trauma from Systemic Toxins:

Our pulmonary systems ability to absorb oxygen Sis affected by systemic toxins. Inhalation of systemic toxins can result in an unconscious state or lead to confusion when faced with a fire. Systemic toxin poisoning can cause permanent damage to organs including the brain. Carbon Monoxide poisoning can appear symptomless up until the point where the victim falls into a coma.

3.) Trauma from Smoke Inhalation:

Smoke inhalation can be looked past by the untrained persons and hidden by more visible injuries such as burns as a result of fire. When external burn injuries don’t present, smoke inhalation must still be taken into consideration as a fire escapee can collapse due to major smoke inhalation. In fact 60% to 80% of fatalities resulting from burn injuries can be attributed to smoke inhalation.

Many burn injury victims have suffered their injuries as a result of defective products or negligently maintained property. These acts of negligence can lead to devastating injuries, years in a painful rehabilitation, and countless reconstructive surgeries.

Paul Riviere did an outstanding job of representing me in my Tort Claim. Communication was excellent, my questions and concerns were answered and he was always ready to assist when needed. He really fought for me to get the settlement I needed and deserved. I highly recommend this attorney.

My family used Attorney Paul Riviere for some legal issues. Paul did a great job representing us. Whenever we called Paul, when we had questions, Paul always returned our calls with the answers. We were very satisfied with Mr. Riviere's work. We will definitely use Mr. Riviere again.

I hired Paul to represent my daughter in a partnership dispute. Although he was very good in the beginning negotiating a fair settlement, he has failed to help her in executing the terms of the contract. He has basically told us she can pursue payment due her in small claims court . He was paid a very hefty retainer which he has almost all exhausted. I feel like he has abandoned her without helping to enforce the settlement he helped navigate. She is still without payment due her which he never followed up on. Im sure he will expect more payment for that . I am disappointed in his lack of helping to enforce a vital part of this agreement .

I've been extremely taken aback by the acrimonious demeanor I've read, in the reviews, regarding The law firm of Riviere Cresci & Singer but specifically Mr, Paul Riviere. Esq. I first became acquainted with Mr. Riviere after I suffered an automobile accident. I had the pleasure of meeting with Mr. Riveire, along with other perspective attorney's, while looking for representation. After meeting with Mr. Reviere I knew instantly that he was the man I was going to hire. Mr. Riviere proved to be the right choice not only from his business acumen but his personal interest as well in my health and welfare. I would highly recommend this firm and Mr. Reviere if you are looking for an established firm with a history of excellent client-attorney interaction.

Paul worked on a tax assessment case for my husband and I. Our town assessed our house and as a result our taxes were due to increase. Paul was excellent and time efficient. He fought our town to have the house re-assessed and as a result our taxes did not increase and we got are due for a refund from the township. Thanks so much for a job well done!

Paul worked on an expongment case for me that I thought would never go thru. Paul was very professional and really helped direct me to what I needed to do in order for him to get the job done. I can't thank him enough for his hard work. I recommend Paul to anyone for any case that they would need a lawyer for.
