Burn Injury Attorney
Los Angeles Burn Injury Attorney
Burns are one of the most painful injuries to endure. Not only do burns result in excruciating pain, the scars can last a lifetime.
Scarring that follows a burn injury not only causes disfigurement, but also serves as a lifelong reminder of the pain and trauma the victim endured while healing. At Law Offices of Danialpour & Associates, our attorneys are committed to helping our clients recover compensation they deserve.
Working with medical, psychological and economic experts, our lawyers demand compensation for our client's pain and suffering, ongoing psychological treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and depression resulting from disfiguring scarring and lost of zest for life.
Types of Burns:
- First degree - Damage to the out layer of skin causing pain, redness, and swelling.
- Second degree - Damage to both outer layer of skin and underlying tissue layers causing pain, swelling, and blistering.
- Third degree - Damage extends deeper into tissue causing extensive tissue destruction. The skin may feel numb.
- Inhalation injuries - Damage to lungs and respiratory system caused by heat and smoke inhalation.
Though the road is a long one, most burn victims do make a full recovery. Some permanent nerve damage and scarring may remain, but the overall health and well-being of the victim is often promising.
Second and third-degree burns are catastrophic injuries. Victims in the hospital burn unit suffer excruciating pain and face years of surgeries. They often are disabled by post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD) and constantly reminded of the trauma by disfiguring scarring.
The medical expenses, lost wages and, in the case of a fatal fire accident, loss of emotional and financial support must be carefully calculated. The outcome of a personal injury claim or wrongful death lawsuit resulting from a burn injury case will determine whether survivors can rebuild their lives.
If a burn victim dies as a result of the burn injury, the surviving spouse and next of kin (through a court-appointed trustee in some states) can sue the person or corporation responsible for the injuries. This is called a wrongful death case.
