Our Live Oak, FL, Attorneys Understand the Costs of Serious Burn Injuries

Burn injuries are painful and expensive to treat, manage, and rehabilitate. Hospitalization, special care in a burn unit, multiple debridement procedures, reconstruction and plastic surgery, and extensive therapies may be necessary for your medical care.

Our attorneys document the costs of treatment and related financial and intangible losses. This helps us understand what a fair settlement might look like and seek fair compensation from the insurance companies that account for all your economic and non-economic damages.

Some examples of your damages may include the following:

Economic Damages: Medical bills, future support needs, plastic surgery, rehabilitation and therapy, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, related expenses
Non-Economic Damages: Physical pain and suffering, emotional distress, scarring and disfigurement, and other intangible costs

When victims pass away from their burn injuries, Florida Statutes § 768.21 allows immediate family members to recover compensation through a wrongful death claim filed by their personal representative. Our Live Oak wrongful death attorneys know how to navigate this legal process and fight for justice for your family.

Our Live Oak Lawyers Know How to Determine If You Have a Burn Injury Case

Burn injury cases are based on negligence. To recover compensation, you need to show that the responsible party acted negligently and caused the burns. Negligence occurs when the at-fault party acts carelessly or recklessly and hurts another. To prove negligence, four elements must be present:

Duty of care
Breach of duty
Causation
Harm

Burn injuries could occur in a car accident, premises liability incident, or many other types of negligence incidents. Our attorneys know how to assess these cases and help you understand your rights based on the details of what happened.

We often represent clients who are still hospitalized, in inpatient rehabilitation, or recovering at home. We often meet with victims at HCA Florida Suwannee Emergency, which is the local facility where many people receive emergency care for minor or moderate injuries. With serious burns, this facility may provide stabilization or even perform life-saving procedures.

Contact us as soon as possible after your injuries, or call us on behalf of a loved one with catastrophic injuries that prevent them from making the call themselves. Our personal injury law firm can help you understand your rights and next steps, taking over managing your case so you can focus on healing.

How Will a Live Oak Injury Lawyer Build a Compelling Case for Burn Compensation?

We must have strong evidence to show what happened and how another party caused your injuries to recover maximum compensation in your burn injury case. This requires a thorough investigation of the incident or accident and all parties involved.

We gather evidence, consult with experts, and analyze all details available to show:

Negligence occurred
We know the proximate cause of your injuries
The liable party’s negligence was the cause of your injuries
You suffered economic and non-economic damages

Once we have a strong, supported argument that supports your case, we can negotiate a fair settlement with the liable party’s insurance carrier or file a personal injury lawsuit against the party directly and prepare the case for trial. Most cases end in a settlement, but we will go to court when necessary to get justice.
