Burn injury compensation may include medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and compensation for pain and suffering, scarring, and permanent limitations. Each case is unique, and a lawyer can help assemble the full picture of damages.
In California, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims generally gives you two years from the injury date to file a lawsuit. Some exceptions may apply, so it’s important to seek advice promptly.

Most burn injury cases settle before trial, but a few may proceed to a lawsuit if necessary. A lawyer can help determine the best route for your situation.
