Burn Injury Lawyers

If you suffer a burn injury, you should first visit a doctor and seek medical treatment for any injuries. Burns often have delayed repercussions like internal injuries and serious infection, so it is essential to contact your doctor for even minor burns.

Depending on the specifics of your burn injury, you may be contacted by your employer’s or landlord’s insurance provider. If you have been injured, seek the representation of an attorney before providing a statement to another party.

Those injured in a burn injury are entitled to the full value of their medical treatment. This includes the actual cost of the treatment, not just their copay or deductible. Oftentimes, insurance carriers attempt to reduce damages by offering to pay only ‘out of pocket’ expenses, which leaves the injured person less than whole.

While your health insurance carrier has to pay for your medical expenses, they also have the right to be paid back. This is generally referred to as subrogation.

Keep in mind that you may be entitled to more than medical expense reimbursement. Punitive damages such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, lost wages and more are often part of personal injury cases.
