Making a burn injury compensation claim.
Burn injuries are deeply distressing and can be life-altering, leading to intense pain, permanent scarring, and long-term physical and emotional consequences. If you or a loved one has suffered a burn injury due to someone else’s negligence or wrongful actions, you may be entitled to seek compensation through a personal injury claim.
A burn injury causes damage to the skin or other tissues caused by exposure to heat, chemicals, electricity, radiation or friction. Common types of burn include:
- Thermal Burns: These occur when the skin comes into contact with hot surfaces, flames, or scalding liquids.
- Chemical Burns: These result from exposure to harmful chemicals or toxic substances
- Electrical Burns: These occur when the skin is exposed to an electrical source, causing electrical currents to flow through the body.
- Radiation Burns: Are caused by exposure to harmful radiation, such as ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun or from medical treatments like radiation therapy.
In a burn injury compensation claim, it is necessary to link the incident that caused the burn to the negligence or liability of a third party. Whether your injury was caused by a defective product, an employer’s failure to maintain safety standards, or hazardous conditions on someone’s property, you may be able to hold the responsible party accountable for their actions, and liable to compensate you for the injuries you sustain.
By making a compensation claim you can recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and the physical and psychological symptoms you have suffered.
