A wound is generally classified as an injury to the skin. There are two major types of wounds: closed wounds and open wounds. A closed wound is an injury that does not break the skin. Closed wounds include contusions, bruises, burns, and friction burns. An open wound is a wound that breaks or punctures the skin. Open wounds include cuts, scrapes, lacerations, puncture wounds, or abrasions. Both closed and open wounds can vary greatly in their severity, and can be located on any part of the body.

Both closed and open wounds can be caused by many different types of accidents. Car accidents often cause contusions and lacerations where the body strikes a part of a vehicle or other object, such as seatbelts or airbags. Slip and fall accidents also tend to cause wounds such as lacerations, abrasions, and contusions to the parts of the body that strike the pavement or other walking surface. Wounds can be caused by many different types of work accidents, such as construction machinery accidents, food service accidents, and many other types of work incidents. If you suffered a wound in a car accident, slip and fall, or work accident, you need to speak with a New York wound lawyer about your legal rights.

We Take Every Case Seriously

Wounds differ greatly in their severity and location, so the treatment for a wound is specific to the cut itself. In general, the first step of treating a wound, especially an open wound, is to clean the area. Any particles that are lodged in the wound can cause serious infection of the area. A serious wound needs immediate medical attention to clean the wound, and then close the wound. If a wound is not closed immediately after the accident, the victim could suffer serious blood loss from the affected area.

A closure is most often in the form of stitches, after which the wound is dressed and allowed to heal. There are serious complications to both open and closed wounds, including infection, blood loss, and scarring. If you suffered a wound that caused a scar on your body, you may be able to receive compensation for your pain, suffering, and the resulting scar. A New York accident attorney can help you get a settlement for your scar.
