When you sustain a burn injury because of someone else’s negligent actions, filing a personal injury claim is the best way to get the justice you deserve. If you are able to win your case, you will receive damages to cover the medical bills you have already paid, as well as estimated future medical expenses related to your burn.
If your burn caused you to miss work, or if you are unable to return to work because of your injuries, you will receive damages to replace your earnings as well. You can also recover damages for pain and suffering, bodily disfigurement, mental and emotional distress, and other categories of damages that may apply to your specific situation.
