Legal Help After a Burn Injury Accident in Orange County

After a burn injury resulting in severe injury or the death of a loved one, victims and their families may have many questions. Who is going to pay for medical expenses? How should you handle communications with the insurance company? What about lost earnings? Without an experienced attorney, it may be difficult, if not impossible, to obtain full and fair compensation for your injuries or the death of a family member. Before you make a recorded statement to the insurance company, or accept a settlement offer, talk to an experienced Santa Ana personal injury lawyer and get an unbiased opinion of the value of your case. You may be entitled to far more compensation than the insurance company will initially offer you. To discuss your burn injury claim, contact HN Injury Lawyers at (657) 333-5726 today.

Smoke Inhalation Injuries

More than half of people who die in fires die not from contact burn injuries, but from inhalation injuries. For victims of indoor fires, smoke inhalation is the primary cause of death. Fires burning with insufficient oxygen may produce toxic chemical compounds, including carbon monoxide, which may quickly cause loss of consciousness, and hydrogen cyanide. Inhaling smoke can also cause suffocation (simple asphyxiation) from a lack of oxygen. Symptoms of smoke inhalation include coughing, shortness of breath, headaches, and loss of consciousness.

Compensation for Burn Injuries

When burn injuries are the result of another person or party’s negligent actions (i.e., leaving a candle burning that causes an apartment fire, or causing an accident that ignites a car on fire), victims may be entitled to compensation from whoever is responsible for their injuries. Compensation awarded in an Orange County burn injury claim can include damages for:

  • All medical expenses
  • Future medical care costs
  • Skin grafting
  • Plastic surgery
  • Lost earnings
  • Loss of earning capacity
  • Therapy and rehabilitation
  • Emotional pain and suffering
  • Compensation for disfigurement and scarring

In order to recover monetary damages in a personal injury claim, the injured victim (the plaintiff) must be able to prove that the at-fault party (the defendant) caused their injuries. With years of collective experience representing burn injury victims, the lawyers at HN Injury Lawyers are familiar with how to establish liability in accidents caused by negligent motorists, negligent supervision of children, dangerous and defective products, and unsafe premises.
