The American Burn Association estimates that for the year of 2012, there were:
- 450,000 burn injuries that required medical treatment
- 3400 burn and fire deaths
- 40,000 hospitalizations for burns
Although the survival rate for burn injuries is high, the consequences of living with a burn injury after the fact can be quite difficult. Many burn injuries require hospitalization, medication, surgeries, skin grafts and possibly physical therapy. Dealing with a burn injury is hard enough, but if you find out that your injury could have been prevented and was caused by the negligence or carelessness of another person, your sense of injustice grows.
At Dick James Law, we have the knowledge, experience and resources you need to assert your right to compensation if your injury was preventable and caused by someone else’s negligence. We will thoroughly investigate your case to exhaust every possible resource of financial restitution available to you, so you can receive the medical care you need for your burns. We understand the challenges you are facing and are committed to supporting you throughout this difficult time.
Our goal is to see you awarded the maximum amount of compensation in your case, and to see those who are responsible for your injuries be held accountable for their actions. We will do everything within our power to ensure that these things happen.
