No matter the type of burn or the at-fault party, victims can seek the following in damage compensation, from either insurance companies in the form of a settlement or through trial:
Medical bills for emergency transport and treatment, doctor’s visits, hospitalization, surgery, rehabilitative therapy, prescription medication, dressings, assistive devices (canes, crutches), retrofitting a home for treatment, and more
Income lost from work for any work time you lost as a result of the accident, treatment, and recuperation
The lifetime value of earnings if your burn injuries disable you to the point that you can’t return to a former job
Property damage if the accident damaged your personal property
Pain and suffering for physical, mental, and emotional pain and suffering
