Understanding the Severity of Burn and Electrical Injuries
Burns and electrical injuries can occur under a variety of circumstances but are most commonly associated with workplace accidents, household incidents, defective products, and public accidents like car crashes and industrial explosions. These injuries are not only physically debilitating but often leave emotional scars, making recovery a profoundly challenging journey.
Burn Injuries: These injuries are categorized into four degrees, each representing a level of severity:
- First-Degree Burns: Affect only the outer layer of skin, causing redness and pain.
- Second-Degree Burns: Extend beyond the top layer of skin, causing swelling and blistering.
- Third-Degree Burns: Reach the fat layer beneath the skin, destroying both the affected skin and the tissue underneath.
- Fourth-Degree Burns: Penetrate deeply, damaging muscle, ligaments, tendons, nerves, blood vessels, and bones, often leading to permanent disability or disfigurement.
Electrical Injuries: These can be deceptive, as they may not always show visible signs of injury but can cause significant internal damage, including cardiac arrest, muscle pain and contractions, seizures, and various neurological impairments that may develop or persist over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Electrical injuries send current through the body and set clothing and tissue on fire. Nearly all electrical injuries involve burns. Sometimes these burns are only to the tissue but they often include exterior burns, so tissues burn from the electrical current and from clothing being set on fire by the electrical current.
It’s vital to keep all of your medical appointments if you’ve suffered an electrical injury or burn in Missouri. One way the insurance companies argue a person failed to mitigate their damages is failing to keep follow-up appointments and juries usually believe injured people keep their follow-up appointments. Additionally, in some states, the court can reduce your money recovery for failure to “mitigate” your damages.
There are five basic types of damages that you might receive compensation for in an electrocution and burn case. We define them below as a jury would receive in trying to determine what to award in an electrocution and burn case:
- Past Economic Damages are previous medical expenses for necessary medications, therapy, or health and rehabilitation in addition to past lost earnings and earning capacity.
- Past Non-Economic Damages refer to non-financial harm like pain and suffering, mental anguish, disfigurement, physical impairment, loss of enjoyment of life, etc.
- Future Economic Damages are the same types of damages as past economic damages, just taking into consideration the impact the injury will have in the future, such as ongoing medical care or medications.
- Future Non-Economic Damages are the type of non-financial harm expected in the future due to the injury or injuries sustained, like sustained pain and suffering, ongoing mental health issues, ongoing disability, etc.
- Punitive Damages are awarded as a punishment to the responsible party. Punitive damages are rarely awarded in personal injury cases, only in instances where it can be proven the wrongdoer had evil intent or showed a conscious disregard for others’ safety.
