The severity depends on how deep into the skin the damage from the burn goes.\u00a0 The different levels of burn severity are:  First-degree burns:\u00a0 This burn only affects the outer layer of the skin.\u00a0 A minor sunburn would be considered a 1st-degree burn. Second-degree burns: This burn affects the epidermis (the outer layer of skin) and the second layer of skin (the dermis). Blisters may develop with this level of burn, and scarring may occur. Third-degree burns: This level of burn will reach the fat layer under the skin. Areas that are burned to this level may be black, brown or white. 3rd-degree burns may destroy nerves, resulting in numbness in the area. There are 4th, 5th, and 6th-degree burns. These levels of burns result in the destruction of skin, bone, and more, possibly resulting in death.","@id":"https:\/\/www.jdwarlick.com\/personal-injury-lawyer\/burn-injuries\/#Answer1"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question2","text":"Should you wish to file a personal injury lawsuit for your burn injuries, the state of North Carolina has a Statute of Limitations on how much time you have to file a personal injury lawsuit.
