Can this be "Great Bodily Injury"/"serious Bodily injury"?

Question

Can a 1st MAYBE 2nd degree burn (a few inches wide) with blistering (very little) and a little burnt skin (maybe the first layer) be a great bodily injury? Can Anyone give me examples of cases where Great bodily injury Was the appropriate conviction? What is the difference between Great bodily injury, and Serious Bodily injury?

-By the way, It took about a week for the burn to go away leaving a small burn mark BARELY visible (even to the victim) Any help?

Answer 1

Yes! If you hire someone who knows what they are doing. But is it really that bad where you want to start problems?

Answer 2

no clue

Answer 3

Bodily injury is usually not the charge.  It's more often a component of assault and/or battery.....like aggravated assault/aggravated battery/assault and battery.....seems like you're trying to minimize the damage that was done which never looks good in court.  Leaving a scar is not a good thing to say the least.  

It's also problematic that something was done to cause a burn.....if you throw hot oil at someone and they are able to dodge the liquid so that they only get a small burn, the fact remains that more serious injury could have occurred - shooting at someone is still attempted murder even if the bullet misses because of poor marksmanship.
