Compensation typically includes medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, and pain and suffering. The exact amount depends on injury severity, treatment duration, and the impact on your daily life.
In California, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit, with exceptions for certain circumstances. If the burn occurred at work, workers’ compensation may apply and timelines can differ.
Many burn injury cases are resolved by settlement; some proceed to trial if negotiations fail. We assess the best path for your situation and pursue it aggressively.
If the injury happened at work, you may have both workers’ comp and third-party liability options. We can pursue both avenues to maximize your recovery.
While you can negotiate directly, having a lawyer helps protect your rights and ensure you seek full damages. We handle communications and paperwork to reduce stress.
Many personal injury matters are handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing up front. If we recover, a percentage of the settlement or verdict is our fee.
Gather medical records, bills, accident reports, photos, and witness contact information. Keep a symptom journal to document ongoing effects and restrictions.
Case length varies with injury severity, court schedules, and settlement outcomes. Some cases resolve quickly; others may take longer depending on facts.
