Why File a Burn Injury Lawsuit?

If your burn accident can be traced back to negligence, a lawsuit may benefit you in a few ways.

The first is that you may be compensated for your injuries and the impact they have had on your life. Financial compensation can help you pay for the medical care both that you have already received and that you will need in the future. It can also provide a safety net to help you get back on top of things, making up for both financial and emotional/mental losses.

Burn survivors often qualify for compensatory damages such as the following:

  • Hospital bills
  • Burn treatment, including skin grafts
  • Ointments and creams
  • Physical and occupational therapy
  • Rehabilitative care
  • Disability
  • Lost wages
  • Reduced future earning potential
  • Pain and suffering

In addition to compensation, a burn injury lawsuit may also provide you with closure knowing the at-fault party was held accountable for its negligent actions. Many burn survivors express how much it means for the negligent person, company, or corporation to take responsibility for what happened—sadly, taking legal action is often the only way to force negligent parties to own up to their actions. Within the same vein, a lawsuit may also result in peace of mind knowing that you have helped protect others from the same negligence.

Common Types of Burn Accidents

Unfortunately, there are many different accidents and incidents that may give rise to a burn injury, such as:

  • Wildfires
  • Vehicle fires
  • Venue fires
  • Apartment or house fires
  • Office or workplace fires
  • Explosions
  • Toxic or caustic chemicals
  • Radiation
  • Extreme cold
  • Exposed electrical wiring
  • Ungrounded conductors or hot wires
  • Product defects

It is recommended to consult our lawyers, as they can help find whether negligence was committed in your case. If so, you may have a right to compensation. Remember, the most common mistake burn survivors make is thinking that a preventable burn accident was no one’s fault.
