A Burn Injury Lawyer Ready to Fight for the Compensation You Deserve

Potential Causes of a Burn Injury

A burn injury can result from a chemical burn, an open fire or grill burn, an electrical burn, or a radiation burn. Many of these burns may be classified as workplace injuries, depending on the occupation. Workers such as electricians, chefs, and construction and factory workers may be at a higher risk of suffering a burn injury in the workplace.

Burn injuries are classified according to the severity of the burn, ranging from minor, first-degree burns that may result from a hot oven to fourth-degree burns, which can be life-threatening.

Burn injuries may also result from a house fire, which can sometimes be traced back to faulty wiring by an electrician. Fires are also common in catastrophic car accidents, especially those accidents involving trucks transporting highly flammable substances. Resulting injuries can be life-threatening. Any burn higher than a first-degree burn is likely to result in scarring. Depending on the severity, location, and extent of the burn, a skin graft or plastic surgery may be required.

As your personal injury attorney, Rocky Walton will seek compensation on your behalf for medical expenses and other damages.

A burn injury can result in a variety of damages ranging from medical expenses to pain and suffering. Rocky Walton will work diligently to ensure you receive adequate compensation for these damages. Damages may include:

• Medical Expenses: A burn injury may require extended hospitalization, numerous treatments, skin grafts or plastic surgery, rehabilitation, and long-term care.
• Lost Wages: If you lack adequate paid time off or short- or long-term disability insurance through your work, the time you spend in the hospital and in rehabilitation recovering from your injuries may be without pay.
• Property Damage: If your injury resulted in damages to your home, vehicle, or other property, you may be compensated for these damages.
• Declined Quality of Life: Serious burn injuries can result in extensive scarring and even nerve damage, which may affect you for the rest of your life.
