As experienced injury attorneys, we have seen just how catastrophic burns can be. While the majority of burns do not qualify for a personal injury lawsuit, those caused by someone else’s negligence may qualify. The following are some of the common causes of burns in typical personal injury cases:
- Apartment fires
- Fires at hotels and rental properties
- Motorcycle accidents
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Transportation accidents
- Workplace explosions or fires
- Chemical spills
- Electrical accidents
- Faulty or malfunctioning fire exits
Burns can be life-altering depending on the severity. You could be left permanently disfigured and in extreme pain. Invasive surgery and skin grafts are sometimes required to treat the deepest burns. All of these things can be expensive and traumatic. That’s where our injury attorneys step in. We will tirelessly pursue maximum compensation on your behalf for:
- Medical expenses
- Loss of wages and income
- Diminished earning capacity
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Pain and suffering
The key in an injury case is to demonstrate that the at-fault party’s negligence was the direct cause of your burn injury. A negligent landlord, employer, hotel operator, retailer or other party could ultimately be responsible, and therefore should be held accountable.
