Our Burn Injury Lawyers Pursue Fair and Appropriate Compensation
Damages we pursue for burn injury victims include all the medical care you need—hospitalization, physical and occupational therapy, in-home assistance, medications, and assistive devices. You can compel the at-fault party to cover all these expenses.
You can also recover additional economic and noneconomic damages such as:
- Lost earnings and earning potential
- Property damage, loss, or diminishment
- Lasting physical disability and disfigurement
- Physical pain and suffering
- Mental and emotional anguish
If severe burns lead to the death of a loved one, we also pursue wrongful death damages for surviving families. The decedent’s parents, spouse, and children can recover funeral and burial expenses and the loss of their loved one’s financial and familial support.
How We Prove the Negligence That Constitutes a Personal Injury Claim
Our legal team collects bills, estimates, and invoices that prove the monetary value of your compensation request. To ensure compensation meets your current and future medical needs, we’ll collect bills from every medical professional and facility where you received treatment and obtain a written prognosis that documents any future care your burn injuries require and their anticipated costs.
Our team will compile proof of how the at-fault party’s negligence negatively affected your life, including the following:
- Police and other official reports
- Medical records and bills
- Accident reconstruction report
- Accident scene photos and video
- Lay and expert witness statements
The weight of the accumulated evidence can steer your case toward a settlement versus a trial. Thus, we’ll organize your case file and submit it to the insurance company with a settlement demand letter. Contact our consultation team at Ged Lawyers to get started.
