Frequently Asked Questions
What compensation could I get from a burn injury?
Victims who suffer burn injuries may be entitled to compensation for their damages which include pain and suffering, medical bills, lost wages, lost future earnings, loss of consortium, and other damages related to the burn injuries. This includes future surgeries, procedures, skin grafts, or scar treatments.
How long do I have to file a burn injury claim?
Four years if the burn injuries were caused by the negligence of another such as a truck driver, premises liability case, or another motorists. Two years if the burn injuries were caused by the negligence of a medical professional. There are some extensions to these time periods, but there are also some instances where these time periods may be shorter. Always ask for a burn injury lawyer’s help in reviewing your claim.
Are post-burn infections covered by burn injury cases?
Generally, yes. Burns create open wounds. It is a known risk that open wounds can be infected after a burn injury. This means that victims who have had severe burn injuries and then suffered a serious infection or sepsis could be able to claim these subsequent injuries against a negligent defendant. The infection and sepsis must be causally related to the burn injury, which is why a burn injury lawyer is necessary to maximize your personal injury claim.
