How Burn Injury Compensation Can Change Your Life

It is not an exaggeration to say that your burns have totally upended all aspects of your life. Your career, your personal life, and your health may never be the same. As a result of all these changes, you may be struggling financially and unsure of your future stability. Burns and the accidents that cause them can be very expensive. Compensation from the liable party can help you cover the following:

Loss of income, benefits, or your job
Medical expenses
Property damage
Any other bills generated by the accident (e.g., you had to hire someone to take care of your lawn because you could not do that work yourself)

As the Cleveland Clinic explains, there are many types and “levels” (or degrees) of burns. Any burn can cause disruptive symptoms on a temporary basis, while the more serious ones can affect your health permanently. You can recover compensation for:

Physical pain and other symptoms
Emotional trauma and mental anguish
Painful or disfiguring scar tissue
Disabling injuries
Loss of consortium (i.e., negative changes in your relationship with close relatives)

It is okay if you need time to mourn your old life and process your feelings about the accident that led to this. While you take care of yourself, our Montgomery burn injury attorney would be proud to fight for the money you can use to get your family back on its feet.

Wrongful Death Damages After a Fatal Burn Injury

If your loved one lost their life because of their burn injuries, please accept our deepest condolences for your loss. Your family may be eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit, but the lawsuit would need to be filed by the representative of the estate.

Alabama awards punitive damages to families, not compensatory damages. As the name implies, these damages are meant to punish the negligent party and warn others against similar actions. Our wrongful death lawyer can assist your family in these proceedings. This is additional money paid to the victim of an extreme act of negligence, such as if the manufacturer of a faulty product displayed a repeated, systemic disregard for consumer safety.

Punitive damages are rare, but we never discount the possibility that a client may qualify for them. Our Montgomery lawyer can let you know if you should seek punitive damages after we investigate your fatal burn injury case.

Getting Help From Our Burn Injury Legal Team

Our burn injury lawyer in Montgomery believes that personal injuries deserve personal attention. That is why we do the following.

Treat Burn Injury Survivors Like Family

The Law Office of Dwayne L. Brown takes a limited number of cases so that we have ample time to devote to each and every client. You can expect us to contact you regularly, both to update you on the case and to make sure that you are doing well. Our team is concerned about more than just your legal situation. We also want to make sure you get the medical care you need and can even recommend doctors to treat you.

Charge No Upfront Fees to Montgomery Clients

We know that money is one of your top concerns right now. To make sure we do not add to your financial burden, we offer free case reviews to all potential clients. This review can be done over the phone. Once someone hires us, we do not ask them to pay any attorney’s fees up front. Instead, we wait until we win the case to send a bill—and we send no bill at all if we do not win. Our firm and our clients are truly in this together.

Carefully Investigate the Cause of Every Burn Injury

This critical step involves collecting enough evidence to prove your case against whoever caused your accident. We might build your case file by visiting the scene of the accident to see it for ourselves, interviewing witnesses and the at-fault party about the accident, and collecting documentary evidence, such as records, photos, and video.

Pursuing the Burn Injury Compensation Your Family Needs

Our 30 years of experience in personal injury law have taught us that no two cases are alike. Our Montgomery burn injury attorney can consider your situation and goals very carefully before deciding whether to:

Start by trying to negotiate with the liable party’s insurance company for a fair settlement
Take your case to court if the insurer will not negotiate in good faith
Go to trial right away, bypassing the negotiation phase, if we feel that is necessary (e.g. if the insurer is especially reluctant to cooperate)
Return to the negotiating table if the insurer indicates they are willing to work with us after the trial preparations or the trial itself has begun

What Should You Do After a Burn Injury?

It is crucial for both your health and your legal case to seek out medical care right away following the accident. You might need an ambulance to take you to the ER or, if you were injured at work, emergency first aid from the on-site doctor. Burn injury treatment, per the Mayo Clinic, may include:

Hospitalization
Skin grafts and other surgeries
Pain management
Physical therapy

Getting immediate medical attention prevents you from suffering any more than necessary and can prevent life-threatening complications like infections. Getting care also produces a medical record of your official diagnosis and treatment plan. You can use this to prove that the negligence-related accident caused your burns, the medical expenses you are seeking compensation for are justified, and the physical and emotional pain you are seeking compensation for are justified.

Prompt Action Protects Your Rights After a Montgomery Accident

Burn injury survivors should look to AL Code § 6-2-38 for the deadline by which they must file a personal injury lawsuit. This law gives you two years from the day you were injured to begin a case. If you let the deadline pass, you lose the right to damages. This deadline (two years) is the same for wrongful death cases, but the relevant law is codified in AL Code § 6-5-410.

Causes of Burn Injuries

Burn injuries can occur whenever you are exposed to a hot or caustic substance. Some common causes of burns that you can sue someone for include:

Open flames: Fires caused by negligent property maintenance, defective tools, or appliances can all cause fires and burns.
Electricity: Frayed wires or faulty equipment may give off sparks that lead to burn injuries.
Chemicals: Certain industrial cleaners, for instance, are very caustic and can cause serious harm to exposed skin.
Extreme temperatures: Even without an open flame, very high (or very low) temperatures can burn you.

Many different places and scenarios can expose you to the hazardous substances listed above. Our Montgomery burn injury attorney can help you file a case after a(n) a fire or explosion due to a car accident, a workplace accident, if you are not given adequate protection or training for dealing with hazards commonly found at your job site, or an incident on someone else’s property, such as an electrical fire caused by faulty wiring or exposure to improperly stored chemicals.

Who Is Responsible for Montgomery Burn Injuries?

This is a critical question. You cannot file a suit for damages until you identify who caused your injuries. The target of your lawsuit might be:

An individual, like a reckless driver who caused a crash, or a property owner who failed to look after their land
An organization, like a corporation that knowingly sold faulty products, or an employer that did not provide legally required training to employees
More than one party displayed negligent behavior that contributed to your accident

Our Montgomery attorney at The Law Office of Dwayne L. Brown can figure out who is liable in your burn injury case and fight vigorously to hold them accountable. One look at our case results shows that we are serious about doing right by our clients.
