While most people are familiar with burns caused by fire and hot liquids, there are a variety of other means by which an individual can be injured. Burn injuries can also result from:
Depending on the location, size, and severity of the burn, you may require extensive treatment, time off from work, or even emotional counseling to deal with the psychological impact of the incident. Your attorney will evaluate all of these effects and more to accurately determine appropriate damages and to seek out the liable parties.
Burn accidents occur often in daily life, though most don’t necessitate a lawsuit. Incidents which may require burn injury litigation include:
Liability for your burn injury may fall on an individual who acted carelessly, a manufacturer of faulty equipment, a property owner who hasn’t assured the safety of a building, or any other entity whose negligent conduct resulted in your injury.
Burn Severity Classifications
There are medical classifications to describe the severity and damage caused by a burn injury. The most common levels, in order from least to most severe, are:
This terminology is both widely used and effective at communicating the seriousness of the injury sustained. For example, if your injury was classified as a third-degree burn, it is almost certain that hospital care was necessary, whether or not you received the full extent of treatment possible. Some individuals may find that they needed to abstain from or cut short a hospital stay due to a financial inability to continue treatment, which may have resulted in compounded suffering.
The reality is that the overwhelming majority of burn injury lawsuits end in settlements after a continuous back and forth between the two parties. Without a lawyer, however, the victim of a burn injury is far more likely to be tricked, receive a lowball offer, or miss compensation opportunities entirely. Attorneys Linzui Vergara and Arif Abrar have handled over 100+ cases and have honed their skills in identifying lost wages, detailing sources of suffering and distress, and finding the parties responsible for the injuries suffered.
