Experience shows us that victims of severe burns can attract very high settlement awards.
There are a number of factors which can influence the final outcome and they include:
• The type of burns suffered i.e. first, second, or third degree
• The amount of body surface area covered by the burns
• Any requirements for surgery and/or restorative surgery
• Any resulting physical disabilities, for example, in extreme cases severe burns can lead to amputation
• The psychological impact on the victim. Many victims of severe burns suffer from Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder for example and appropriate aftercare is required
