Burn Injury Lawsuits

Hiring an Experienced Burn Injury Lawyer

No matter how a burn injury happens, whenever a person has suffered a severe burn injury it’s a very traumatic, and most often, an event that’s a life altering one. If the burn injuries were sustained as the result of a defective product or another party’s negligence, you have the ability to file a personal burn injury lawsuit in order to receive compensation from those responsible for your injuries. Based upon the facts of each case, the damages available to injured parties will vary significantly.

Generally, damages awarded in a personal burn injury lawsuit will include:

• Pain and Suffering
• Lost Earnings
• Past Medical Expenses
• Future Medical Expenses

If a family member has lost their life, you have the ability to bring an action that’s called a wrongful death lawsuit. Wrongful death lawsuits seek damages from the responsible party. The Doan Law Firm works with medical professionals that are highly skilled in all aspects of burn injuries in order to document your injuries properly and ensure that the damages you’ve suffered (or the family members in the instance of a wrongful death case) are properly established.

Statutes of limitation apply to burn injury cases, which will limit the amount of time that you have to file your personal burn injury lawsuit. Statutes of limitations have no flexibility; they have to be complied with strictly. The lawsuit has to be filed within the time limits provided or else it’ll be barred forever and there will be no recovery entitled. That’s why it’s essential that the first call after you seek medical attention is to an experienced burn injury lawyer at The Doan Law Firm.

Burn Injuries Overview

Severe burns are not only extremely painful, but they’re also devastating to both the burn victim and their family. Burn injuries are classified under three degree types:

• First Degree – Affects the Top Lawyer of Skin And Rarely Requires Medical Attention
• Second Degree – Deeper Than First Degree Burns and Can Result In Blister and Tissue Damage
• Third Degree – The Most Significant Of All the Burn Degree Types

The majority of the time there’ll be nerve damage with a third degree burn and they always require that you seek immediate help from a medical professional. Often, they’ll also necessitate surgeries and skin grafts. It’s even possible for a severe third degree burn to lead to the death of the burn victim.

All three of the burn degree classifications can be caused by many things, most typically:

• Steam
• Fire
• Electricity
• Friction
• Explosions
• Chemicals
• Hot Liquids
• Direct Heat from an Object

The majority of the time a severe burn injury will require multiple surgeries, a long term stay in the hospital and ongoing rehabilitation. A significant amount of the burn injury cases we’ve handled have involved the scarring of the head or the face, damage to the genitals or torso, and limb deformities. The pain both emotionally and mentally, along with the suffering that goes along with the injury, is something that’s completely impossible to overstate. The emotional and mental anguish is just as real as the physical problems experienced from the burn injury.

Severe Burn Injury Causes

There are many different ways a severe burn injury can occur, with just some of them being bycar, motorcycle, construction accidents, truck, cruise ship, and others. When it comes to motor vehicle accidents, the severe burn injuries are most frequently caused, either in part or in whole, by a defect(s) within the design or the manufacturing of the vehicle itself, or the component parts in the vehicle, such as the gas tanks, seatbelts, airbags, or tires.
