Severe Burns Lead to Injury Claims

Burn injuries vary in severity, but most cases that advance to an injury claim or law firm involve third-degree burns or worse. A third-degree burn deeply affects not just the skin but also the nerves, tissues, and muscles beneath. On the other hand, a second-degree burn does not reach underlying soft tissues, so it might not cause permanent or life-threatening damage. 

Third-degree burn cases are complex and often involve these factors:

• Intense Medical Needs: Third-degree burns usually require extensive medical intervention, such as surgeries, skin grafts, and treatments to repair or manage the damage.
• Long-Term Scarring and Disfigurement: Third-degree burn survivors often live with permanent scars and disfigurement, which can require costly cosmetic or reconstructive procedures, as well as psychological support to cope with the emotional impact.
• Negligence: Devastating burn injuries are often the result of negligence in cases involving fires, hazardous chemicals, faulty electrical systems, or unsafe work environments.

If you were burned and received medical treatment, it is worth noting what degree of burn the medical provider recorded when reaching a diagnosis. However, not every burn injury case involves a third-degree burn, so if your burn injury was caused by another party’s negligence, no matter its degree of severity, it is always worth talking to an attorney about what legal options you might have to seek compensation. With our free consultations, we make it simple to learn more.

Compensation in a Burn Injury Claim

California liability laws allow you to file an injury claim against any party that causes you to suffer an injury and losses, such as one that caused you to suffer a serious burn injury. Even if you were partly or mostly liable for the burn injury, California still lets you file a claim against another liable party. To see if you can file a claim and what type of compensation you can demand, talk to a member of McGee Lerer Ogrin today.

We might be able to seek compensation that helps pay for your:

• Medical Costs: Reimbursement for surgeries, hospitalization, rehabilitation, medications, and ongoing treatments.
• Lost Income: Compensation for the time you’ve had to take off work and diminished earning capacity due to the lasting impacts of your burn injury like a physical disability.
• Pain and Suffering: Monetary damages for the physical pain and emotional distress associated with the injury and recovery process.
• Future Care Needs: Many burn injury victims require long-term care, such as physical therapy, psychological counseling, and specialized medical equipment.
