You may recover medical bills, hospital stays, prescription costs, and rehabilitation expenses. You can also seek compensation for lost wages, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, scarring, and emotional distress. Depending on the case, future care costs and long-term therapy may be recoverable as well.
In California, most personal injury actions must be filed within two years of the burn event. Some claims have shorter or longer deadlines depending on the source of the burn and the defendant. It is important to consult promptly to preserve your rights and avoid unnecessary delays.
In many burn injury cases, lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no upfront fees and legal costs are paid from any successful recovery. If there is no recovery, there is typically no payment due.
Bring any information about the incident, medical records you have, documentation of expenses, photos or videos of injuries, contact information for witnesses, and any correspondence with insurers.
Future costs may include ongoing medical treatment, therapy, adaptive devices, and potential cosmetic or reconstructive procedures. We account for these in the damages we seek and plan for long-term care.
Product defects can create liability for manufacturers or sellers. If a defective product caused the burn, we evaluate product liability theories and pursue compensation from the responsible party.
