How can a California attorney for burn injuries assist?

Not all victims of burn injuries are eligible for financial compensation through the civil justice system in California. The law places the burden of proof on the injured party prior to obtaining a settlement or verdict. This burden is generally to demonstrate that the negligence of another party contributed to the injuries. Contact a California catastrophic injury attorney with experience in burn injury claims if you believe someone else could have prevented the incident that resulted in your burn injuries. One of our attorneys can explain the steps necessary to file a claim for damages in California before the deadline.

What Causes Burn Injuries?

If someone else caused or contributed to your burn injuries through negligence or malice, you may be eligible for financial compensation. Your California burn injury attorney will examine the situation for evidence of someone else’s liability as one of the initial steps. Your burn injuries may have been caused by an employer or product manufacturer. With over 25 years of experience in personal injury law, we are familiar with the most prevalent causes of severe burn injuries in California.

• Car accidents
• Chemical releases
• Dangerous home appliances
• Defective merchandise
• Electrocutions
• Burning and exploding
• Lack of safety equipment
• Physical mistreatment
• Workplace incidents

Once we identify the cause of your burns and the appropriate defendant(s), we can assist you in filing a claim for damages within California’s strict statute of limitations. Burn survivors in California have two years from the date of their incidents to file civil claims. If you miss this deadline, you may forfeit your right to any compensation. While you focus on healing from your burns, our attorneys can handle the paperwork and timely claims filing.

Treatment of Burn Wounds

There are a number of common reasons why burn injuries occur, despite their severity. Chemical and electrical burns can result in severe scarring and burns. Commonly, thermal burns result from scalding. In addition, explosions cause numerous instances of burns.

The type of treatment for burn injuries is largely determined by the type of burn sustained. Burn injuries consist of:

• First degree: Such burns may cause redness and pain in the epidermis, the outermost layer of skin. Burns of the first degree can be treated with creams and antibiotic ointments. Due to the fact that even these types of burns can cause severe pain, the need for pain medication may also be high.
• Second-degree burns affect both the epidermis and the dermis, the lower layer of skin. These burns cause redness, pain, swelling, and potentially blistering. As a result of these burns, the likelihood of acquiring an infection increases significantly. Burns of the second degree are frequently treated similarly to burns of the first degree. However, these burns typically require significantly longer to heal than first-degree burns.
• Third degree burns are the most severe, affecting the epidermis, dermis, and deeper tissues. Such burns are characterized by blackened or charred skin. The treatment for such burns can be extremely expensive and may last a lifetime. In addition to requiring multiple surgeries, a person with such injuries may also require skin grafts and a number of plastic and reconstructive surgeries. Antibiotics and fluids might need to be administered intravenously to victims of third-degree burns. In certain instances, burns can necessitate the amputation of a limb. And such injuries can occasionally prove fatal.
