Burn Injury

Suffering from a severe burn injury can change your life. Wounds that are so debilitating may require surgery, extensive medical treatment, and physical rehabilitation to recover from. Even after these treatments, you may never fully recover from the damage a burn injury can do to your body.

Not only do burn injuries cause excruciating pain, but these injuries can also permanently alter your appearance as well as the ability to live your life like you did before you were hurt. Beyond medical care and surgeries, you may need in-home care and physical rehabilitation.

Cape Coral is a peaceful seaside community situated along the Gulf Coast of Florida. Cape Coral is a relaxing place for fishing, kayaking, and boating with its stunning beaches and miles of canals. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the Four Mile Cove Ecological Preserve is a great place to stroll along the boardwalk while exploring the Caloosahatchee River. Or cool off with the kids at the splash park at Fellowship Park.

While Cape Coral is the 8th largest city in Florida, it keeps its small community feel. There are plenty of restaurants, shops, cultural events, and festivals to keep you busy.

The layer of skin the burn reaches determines the severity of its damage. A first-degree burn hurts the top layer of skin. These painful burns may cause your skin to turn red and swell; however, they typically heal after about a week.

A second-degree burn reaches the second layer of skin. These are excruciating injuries that cause a person's skin to blister. They require medical assistance as the skin is susceptible to infection. The skin may be permanently scarred or discolored.

Burns that extend to the third layer of skin cause extensive injury. Known as third-degree injuries, the damaged skin may look white, black, or gray. People typically feel minimal pain at this stage as their nerve endings are burned. You may be facing multiple surgeries and skin grafts to repair the damage.

Fourth-degree burns are severe enough to threaten your life. They reach beyond all three layers of skin and damage a person's muscles, bones, and organs. They require immediate medical attention; the damaged areas may begin to swell and impact a person's ability to breathe or eat. They can impair essential bodily functions and mobility.

Another injury that burn accident victims may suffer from is smoke inhalation. If you breathed in dangerous particles or chemicals, it could cause irreparable damage to your lungs.
