Burn injuries are often very expensive to treat. Many require hospitalization and multiple surgeries. The damage done from an extensive burn can mean that the injured party is unable to work for long periods of time, accruing lost wages on top of expensive medical treatments. In addition, the disfiguration associated with scarring from burns can be psychologically damaging, and many injured parties seek mental health treatment as part of their recovery. All of these losses can add up to a substantial expense, and seeking compensation through a lawsuit can be one way to help make up for these costs.
An experienced burn injury lawyer will know the best path forward in order to demonstrate liability and get a settlement or trial response that can start to alleviate these costs.
