How Can A Chapel Hill Burn Injury Help Me?
Burn injury lawyers represent injured victims in personal injury claims filed against the person or entity responsible for or causing the burn injury accident. Burn injuries can happen in many ways; at our firm, we begin by carefully evaluating the nature of your accident to determine the liable party or parties (called the “defendant” in our legal filings). Then, we gather evidence to prove negligence on the part of that person or entity.
Some of the common types of burn injury cases we handle include:
- Car wrecks; the defendant may be another driver or perhaps the car manufacturer that released a faulty product
- Electrocution; the defendant could be an electrician, property owner, or consumer product manufacturers
- Workplace injury; the defendant may be your employer, a co-worker, or another party, like a subcontractor or vendor
These are just a sampling of the cases we handle. Our legal team includes professional investigators and expert witnesses who can explain to a jury how the defendant’s negligence or oversight led to the accident and your injuries.
We may start with a Demand Letter to the other party and their attorneys requesting fair compensation and outlining our case against them. We strive to settle your case out of court, in mediation or negotiations, saving you the stress of a trial. However, we prepare each case anticipating litigating it in North Carolina civil court, no matter how complex the matters are.
Demanding Fair Compensation For Burn Injury Losses
Burn injury victims are entitled to compensation for their material losses following the injury, such as:
- Past, present, and future medical care, including the cost of skin grafts, surgery, and a hospital stay
- Rehabilitative therapy, like physical or occupational therapy
- Modifications to their home or vehicle, or both, if the injuries are disabling
- Unearned wages from time missed at work for all medical care
- Transportation to and from doctor’s appointments, including specialist care
You are also entitled to compensation for your pain and suffering, which for burn injuries can be considerable. This is one aspect of the non-economic compensation we seek on your behalf. We also demand fair compensation for your loss of enjoyment of life, disability and scarring, and the emotional trauma you suffered.
