Serious Burns Injuries

Severe burns can have devastating effects on the life of the victim and their family. The initial hospitalization and doctor’s fee for a burn covering 30% of the body can cost more than $200,000. This does not include the expense of reconstruction, rehabilitation, and future medical expense related to the burn.

Our attorneys have successfully represented clients whose burn injures were categorized as first degree or superficial, second degree or partial thickness, and third degree or full thickness. People who suffer second and third degree burns often require extensive medical treatment that can include multiple surgeries, debridements, skin grafts, and physical therapy to restore movement.
