TABLE OF CONTENTS

Getting burnt will always be painful. Even a minor burn injury can see you experience intense pain. Greater burns can see you suffer lasting repercussions physically, financially, and psychologically. It gets even worse when the sustained burn injury is a result of somebody else’s recklessness and could have easily been averted with due diligence.

The burn injuries will require medical treatment, and if the injuries were major, those medical expenses will skyrocket. To heal and recover, you’ll need to take a leave of absence from work which will trigger another worry of financial uncertainty. It’s not right for you to cover the medical expenses of your burn injuries, especially if somebody else is at fault for causing the accident.

Regardless of the kind of burn injury you or somebody close to you has sustained, it will work in your favor to have a seasoned Moreno Valley burn injury lawyer by your side if you want to receive fair compensation for your suffering, injuries, and monetary losses. The personal injury lawyers of The Crockett Law Group in Moreno Valley, CA can assist you to navigate this trying period. We understand that you’re stressed about the finances, which is why we will demand the maximum compensable amount from the get-go. We will ensure that the responsible party is held accountable for their careless actions.

If you want to learn more about your burn injury claim and discuss the legal options you have, contact a personal injury lawyer at our Crockett Law Group in Moreno Valley, CA offices at (888) 965-3827 for a FREE initial consultation and case assessment.

What Are Some of the Common Causes of Burn Injuries?

Unfortunately, burn injuries can happen at work in a variety of ways. They can also vary based on the type of work you perform. The following is a list of common causes for burn injuries on the job:

  • Electrical currents
  • Radiation
  • Ultraviolet radiation
  • Hot liquid or steam
  • Hot metal, glass, or other objects
  • Fire
  • Chemicals

Other burns can come from work injuries, product defects, explosions and auto accidents. If the accident was work-related, you may be eligible to pursue workers’ comp benefits.

What Are the Different Categories of Burns?

Burn injuries are classified according to their level of severity. They include:

1st Degree

These burns affect the skin’s epidermis (exterior surface of the skin) with damage being the least. The burn is sore, either hot or warm to the touch, and may exhibit minor inflammation and redness. 1st-degree burns can easily be treated with Aloe Vera gel and cool water (not with ice) and you can be healed inside a week.

2nd Degree

These burn injuries affect the skin’s second layer. Pain is more excruciating compared to that of a 1st-degree burn, and you can expect some swelling. The injury is characterized an extremely blistered and red skin. These burns will take some weeks to heal.

3rd Degree

Also called full-thickness burns, the burn injury affects all the layers of the skin. The burn area will get charred and have either a white or white dry wound. You may not experience any pain as the nerve endings will be destroyed. These burns require urgent medical attention as they may result in hypothermia, infection or even death. Skin grafting may be a viable treatment option here.

4th Degree

These burns are the most severe type as damage extends to all the layers of the skin, organs, tendons, muscles, and even the bone. Given how life-threatening this injury is, immediate medical attention is required, and amputation or skin grafting may be viable treatment options.

Burn injuries can result in permanent disfigurement or scarring. The greater the extent of the burn, the more the skin is damaged and disfigured. Medical treatment options may include multiple surgeries and skin grafts, along with therapy. Skin damage can result in restricted or reduced movement and may affect your skin sensitivity.

What Are Some Damages You Can Recover Through a Burn Injury Claim?

Victims of burn injuries in Moreno Valley, CA are entitled to receive financial restitution from the at-fault party in the form of damages. We at Crockett Law Group are conversant with these sorts of insurance claims and can help you recover the following damages:

Economic Damages

These sorts of damages are countable repercussions of the burn injury in monetary terms. They include:

  • Lost Wages
  • Medical Costs (present and future)
  • Treatment expenses
  • Transportation Costs
  • Rehabilitation Costs
  • In-home Care Costs
  • Prosthetics

Non-Economic Damages

These damages are subjective and can’t be quantified or given any monetary value. They include:

  • Long-Term Disability
  • Mental Distress
  • PTSD
  • Loss of consortium
  • Pain & Suffering
  • Wrongful Death
  • Diminished quality of life
  • Depression

Punitive Damages

You may also be eligible for punitive damages, where it is established that your burn injuries were caused by a grossly negligent person. Although these damages work in your favor, they are meant to act as punishment for the defendant and also deter others from committing such reckless acts. These damages are awarded on top of other kinds of compensation you get.

How Long Do You Have to File a Burn Injury Claim in California?

Under California’s personal injury statutes, victims of burn injuries have two years following the accident to file and submit a claim. But in case your lawsuit is against a state or local government employee or agency, you have 6 months to file the burn injury suit. Failure to file your claim within these timeframes automatically disqualifies you from seeking any form of recompense from responsible parties. Make sure to enlist a professional burn injury attorney to carry out the formalities as you heal.

How Much Will a Moreno Valley Burn Injury Lawyer Cost?

We at the Crockett Law Group provide our legal expertise on a contingency fee plan, meaning that payment is hinged on how the case will pan out. When you visit our law offices for a consultation, we will review your case and determine whether your claim is worth pursuing. When we take on your case, you won’t pay us anything for legal representation. We will subtract our fees from the compensable amount we help you receive. If the case doesn’t go your way, there will be no charges incurred on your end.

How Can a Moreno Valley Burn Injury Lawyer Help My Claim?

Insurers, adjusters and their defense lawyers have only one goal. They safeguard their client from paying damages caused entirely, and if payment is necessary, their goal is to keep the compensable amount as low as possible. This and the complicated legal necessitates the need for you to enlist the services of a burn injury attorney.

Here’s how we at Crockett Law Group can help with your claim:

Case Preparation/ Filing a Lawsuit

Before you file any burn injury lawsuit, you’ll need to show how the defendant is at-fault for your burn injuries, which isn’t as straightforward as you may think. Our attorneys will carry out an autonomous investigation into the matter to establish negligence and hold the liable accountable for their wrongdoing. Our Moreno Valley burn injury attorneys are conversant with all the statutes, and legal procedures and will ensure that everything is done by the book when it comes to filing your claim. Any mistake in filing a suit may jeopardize your claim.

Settlement Negotiation

As a burn injury victim, it is not wise for you to enter into negotiations with insurance providers on your own as they will do everything to make you admit fault or lowball you. This is why you need a professional with the skills and experience to argue in your stead. We are expert negotiators and our advocates will enter the negotiating room looking for nothing less than the maximum compensation.

Trial Preparation and Representation

In the event the insurance company is unwilling to award full damages for injuries suffered, we are more than prepared to head to court where we will argue your case. Trials usually have rules and protocols that must be adhered to and our attorneys are conversant with how things work. We will do all the necessary preparations to ensure the case is airtight and proceed to argue your case, for a favorable outcome.
