- Child Burn Injury Victims
- Children suffering from serious burn injuries often have a long road to recovery before them.
In short, these are often the most tragic and heart-wrenching cases. They will likely face pain and scarring, surgery and rehabilitation therapy.
Parents, too, suffer the anguish of having to watch their child’s slow recovery from burn injuries and learn to face life again.
As part of our personal injury practice, we work on behalf of child burn injury victims and their families to obtain compensation for pain, suffering, treatment and rehabilitation for physical and emotional injuries.
Child burn injury victims often must work through the trauma of the initial burn and learn how to handle future challenges with peers and with self-esteem as they grow up. The effects of a child burn injury can be devastating.

- The Long-Term Effects Of Child Burn Injuries
- Simply put, these are some of the most tragic and heart-wrenching cases we see as personal injury attorneys. The suffering is not just physical, as children and parents also suffer emotionally throughout the recovery process.
It is important for children to address the psychological problems associated with physical scarring. Medical treatments and counseling can be very costly, making it important to seek adequate monetary compensation for all of your losses.
Physically, the pain of the burn is just the beginning. With skin growth and scar tissue formation, often physical or occupational therapy is required to help regain movement. Surgeries are required to repair and reconstruct burned areas through skin grafting. At all stages of burn treatment, physicians and caregivers must work to prevent infection.
Because children are still growing, additional surgeries may be necessary throughout their childhood to eliminate scarring and aid a full recovery. The elimination of scarring and a return to normal life are the goals.
