Burn Injury

Severe burn injury is a life-changer.  It is among the most painful health issues the human body can experience and endure, affecting virtually all senses like no other condition.

Whether at home or at work, a manufacturer which creates a dangerous and defective product which results in burn injury, or a property owner that creates or neglects a fire hazard, are examples of parties which can be held accountable for devastating burn injury.

The consumer products most commonly associated with fires:

• Bedding
• Clothing (e.g. pajamas)
• Cooking equipment (e.g. toaster ovens, table-top indoor grilling appliances)
• Chemicals (e.g. bug spray, cleaners)
• Furniture (e.g. highly flammable coverings)
• Heaters (e.g. electric, kerosene, gas)
• Mattresses

Burn victims injured by the negligence of others, whether product manufacturer or property owner, have several medical hurdles to overcome.  The costs for care, treatment, and therapy, are among the highest of any type of injury – and continue over the course of a lifetime.

Who is going to pay for experimental medical interventions?  Who is going to pay for cutting-edge technology?  Not a health insurance company.  Not the government.

You will need significant financial resources to ensure you have access to every medical intervention and treatment you’ll need for the rest of your life.

A burn victim may require several medical interventions:

• skin grafts (a process where burned skin is replaced with healthy skin from another part of the body)
• skin replacement (a temporary alternative to skin graft);
  physical therapy
• reconstructive surgery (to repair skin disfigurement and scaring)
• hyperbaric oxygenation chamber
• respiratory therapy
• pain management
• advanced or cutting-edge experimental treatments and interventions.

Why should you bear the lifetime costs when a company was negligent and caused your lifetime of challenge?  Under our justice system, the wrongful party – the negligent party – may be held accountable to pay for your losses.
