A glossary of terms commonly used in burn injury claims.
Liability refers to the party responsible for causing the burn injury and the legal obligation to compensate the victim.
Damages mean the financial compensation available for medical bills, lost wages, future treatment, and pain and suffering.
In California, most burn injury claims must be filed within a specific time frame, typically two years from the date of injury, though exceptions may apply.
Claims may be resolved through settlement negotiations, mediation, or a court trial depending on the case and negotiations.
Possible paths include pursuing an insurer settlement, filing a civil lawsuit, or seeking workers’ compensation in applicable employment injuries. Each option has different timelines, costs, and potential outcomes.
