The Nightmare of Burn Injuries

Burn injuries are some of the most horrific injuries a person can endure. They can permanently impair a person’s ability to work, and they saddle the victim and the victim’s family with emotional distress and costly, painful treatments that often last years.

Moore Jr., Daniel N. Moore and Robert A. Herking of The Moore Law Firm have an accumulation of decades of experience in representing seriously injured clients in complex personal injury claims.

Common Causes of Burn Injuries
Burn injuries can result from a variety of accidents, including car accidents, trucking accidents and motorcycle accidents. Additionally, burn injuries also commonly occur in industrial settings, such as construction sites and factories. Burns may result not only from fire and explosions, but also from chemical exposure, electrocution and radiation.
The Burn Injury Prognosis
Victims of severe burn injuries suffer greatly. Just the trauma of being burned – the fear and intense pain – can cause psychological damage. The effects on the mind and emotions are made worse by the necessary courses of painful treatments, skin grafts, debridement and surgeries. Burn victims are at a great risk of infection and post-traumatic stress disorder. Burn victims may be heavily scarred and disfigured, and they might have lost limbs, hearing or sight. Physical limitations as well as new emotional problems might prevent the injured person from ever working again. Burn victims can become depressed and suicidal.
Compensation for Burn Injuries
Burn injuries can result in long-term treatment and rehabilitation, depending on the nature, the severity and the location of the burns. A burn victim may seek compensation from any responsible parties for the costs of those injuries, including past and future medical expenses and lost wages, inability to do normal activities, loss of enjoyment of life and emotional harm. The amount of compensation will vary according to the type of injuries and the length of healing and rehabilitation. Obviously, the greater the harm, the greater the compensation necessary.
