Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prove negligence in a burn injury case?

Proving negligence in a burn injury case involves demonstrating that the responsible party had a duty of care that they failed to uphold, directly causing your injury. This could involve showing that a property owner did not maintain safe conditions, an employer failed to provide proper safety equipment, or a product manufacturer sold a defective product. A personal injury lawyer can help gather evidence, such as accident reports, expert testimony, and medical records, to establish negligence.

What types of compensation can I receive for a burn injury?

If you’ve suffered a burn injury, you may be eligible for compensation for medical expenses, including surgeries and rehabilitation, lost wages, loss of future earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and disfigurement or scarring. In severe cases, compensation may also cover long-term care and assistive services.

What should I do immediately after suffering a burn injury?

After suffering a burn injury, seek immediate medical attention to assess and treat your injuries properly. Follow all medical advice and keep records of your treatments and expenses. Document the accident scene and any contributing factors if possible, and gather contact information from any witnesses.

In California, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim, including burn injuries, is generally two years from the date of the injury.

Burn injuries can result from various sources, including fires, scalding liquids, electrical accidents, chemical exposure, and explosions.

To have a valid claim, you must prove that another party’s negligence caused your injury. An attorney can help assess the specifics of your case and determine the best course of action.

Will my case go to court?
