Burn Injury Information

Every burn injury patient has a story. And every burn injury surgeon has hundreds. In a split second, a nightclub is engulfed by flames and smoke. A factory ignites and catches fire after a dangerous chemical reaction. A baby's bath water turns scalding. Wind switches direction and sends a brush fire raging across an open field. An automobile accident traps a young driver in a burning car. A campfire spreads onto tents and clothing.

Each year in the United States, there are 1.1 million burn injuries that demand medical attention. Ten thousand people die every year of burn related injuries. Sadly, many burn injury victims are children.

A serious burn injury of any degree can be a horrendous trauma to both your physical and emotional well being.

Burn survivors may face the challenges of:

  • Disfigurements
  • Body chemistry damage
  • Physical and emotional trauma
  • Organ damage
  • Sensitivity to temperature change

It may be hard for you to imagine living with wounds and scars that won't heal –until it actually happens to you. It is a tragic situation that plagues millions of Americans.

Non-healing wounds leave patients, families, friends, and society with both emotional and physical pains, as well as with the huge economic burden of billions of dollars in treatment and recovery.

Burn Injuries Lawyer

Most burn injury victims are hesitant about contacting an attorney because they believe they are automatically at fault for the injury. This may not be the case. Even if the individual may be partially at fault, it is still possible that another person or cause may have contributed to the injury, and monetary retribution may still be possible.

Your legal rights to compensation that can be brought to you by an attorney may include:

  • Payment of medical bills - Counseling
  • Surgical procedures - Cosmetic surgery
  • Hospitalization - Physical therapy
  • Occupational therapy - Vocational rehabilitation
  • Ongoing medical care - Loss of consortium
  • Compensation for loss of income - Compensation for pain
