Burn injuries are more common than you think and they do not always involve fire. In fact, many burn injuries are the result of chemical spills, defective products that catch fire or create electrical shocks, and coming into contact with hot liquids.
If you suffered from a burn injury that was caused by someone else’s negligence, that person can be held liable for the consequences of their actions. You can seek compensation for damages including:
- Medical bills in the past
- Medical expenses in the future
- Rehabilitation
- Physical therapy
- Occupational therapy
- Lost wages
- Loss of earning capacity
- Physical pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Emotional distress
- Permanent disability
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of consortium
- Assistive devices and transportation
- Modifications needed for the home
- Loss of household services
- Funeral and burial expenses (in case of wrongful death)
