Examples of Accidents Resulting in Burns

Our lawyer has helped people recover compensation for burns and other types of injuries, including payment for medical treatment, rehab, and therapy expenses; lost past and future wages and lost earning capacity; and pain and suffering. Our clients have included people injured in accidents such as:

• House fires
• Fires in businesses such as stores or restaurants
• Chemical exposure
• Petroleum product explosions
• Domestic accidents involving exploding pressure cookers, gas grill propane tanks, malfunctioning hot water valves, improperly wired hair dryers, and other defective or dangerous home electrical products
• Industrial accidents caused by defective welding torches and other tools or equipment

Why Burn Victims Need Compensation

Whether an accident that led to a burn injury was caused by a leaking propane tank, a burning cigarette, or a defective product, our attorney can help. We have obtained compensation for people who suffered third-degree burns over much of their bodies and spent many months in burn units. Burn victims may need to endure reconstructive plastic surgery, skin replacement, and surgical debridement. They may face the ever-present danger of infection, the psychological damage of scarring, and the need to be attentive to the sun and other environmental factors. They may struggle to cope with multiple surgeries and other medical procedures.

Mr. Garvey will strive to secure full compensation for all of the ways a burn victim has been affected by their injuries. Compensation may cover the costs of emergency medical treatment, surgical procedures, and ongoing medical care. It may also address the emotional distress a person has experienced during the accident that led to burn injuries and as they have dealt with ongoing issues related to medical treatment, complications, and disfigurement. A victim may also receive compensation for any income they lost while recovering from a burn injury and the loss of future income because an injury has affected their ability to find or maintain employment.
