Brevard County Burn Injury Lawyer

Fighting for the Rights of Burn Victims

Suffering burns in any type of accident is often one of the most traumatic experiences a person will ever live through, as it frequently leaves the victim with life-changing catastrophic injuries and deep scarring, both physical and emotional. When the burn is caused by the negligence of another party, whether in setting a house fire, causing a car accident, spilling scalding liquid or in manufacturing defective products with surfaces that overheat to dangerous levels, the victim has a right to pursue financial compensation by filing a personal injury claim.

Burn Injury Statistics

According to the American Burn Association, approximately 450,000 people across the nation required emergency room treatment for burns of various degrees of severity, as well as 3,500 deaths caused by fire and burns in everything from house and apartment fires to flames in motor vehicle accidents and fatal electrocution or chemical burns. The ABA also reports that the vast majority-68%-of burn injuries occur in the home, with 10% taking place at work, 7% on the road and 15% in other places. Wherever your accident took place, it is important to ascertain who is at fault so that you can take appropriate legal action over your injuries.

Compensation for Preventable Burn Injuries

While the ABA reports that three-quarters of burn injury deaths occur very soon after the incident, those who survive this type of accident will typically face a difficult future of pain and disfigurement. Burn injuries may require procedures such as skin grafts, and even after a long and painful period of recovery they may never fully heal. Whether you want compensation for your own injuries or if you want to sue for the wrongful death of a loved one, bring the case to us at High Stack Gordon Kirby for aggressive legal representation.
