Burn Injury Lawyers

Every year, more than one million people suffer burns so severe that they require medical attention. Many of these burns result in permanent, debilitating conditions. Others cannot survive their burn injuries, leaving their families to grieve an unexpected and sudden loss of a loved one.

An abundance of burn injuries is the result of avoidable accidents. If you have suffered a burn injury because of another’s negligence, you may have the right to demand compensation. The money you are awarded can help make up for lost wages, pay for medical bills, and compensate for your suffering and pain. Let the experienced burn injury lawyers at The Cochran Firm help you fight for the compensation you deserve.

Various Burn Types

  • First-Degree
  • Second-Degree
  • Third-Degree
  • Fourth-Degree
  • Thermal
  • Chemical
  • Radiation
  • Electrical

Some burns will result in minor skin irritation and may require medical attention for pain management. These are often best handled through traditional insurance channels. However, serious injury resulting from third or fourth-degree burns commonly demands the attention of an accident attorney.

Third and fourth-degree burns can cause a host of damages, including:

  • Extreme discomfort
  • Permanent disfigurement
  • Muscle loss
  • Tendon, joint, and bone damage

Seeking a Burn Injury Attorney?

It can take quite some time for a burn victim to get back on their feet after suffering the injury. Even then, victims might struggle with significant physical limitations and pain for the rest of their lives. Seeking compensation from the individual responsible for a burn injury might be the most important thing a victim can do.

Still, navigating an injury claim or lawsuit can be challenging, particularly if you are dealing with a severely painful injury. If you have sustained a burn injury in an accident, you may be entitled to compensation for damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, and personal pain and suffering. The best way to learn if you are able to seek these damages is by discussing your case with an experienced injury attorney. The burn injury lawyers at The Cochran Firm are on hand to answer your questions, discuss your rights, and help you determine if you have cause to file suit.

The Compensation You Deserve

These more severe burns often require lengthy hospitalization followed by a residency in a burn ward. Infection, dangerous fluid loss, and death are all possible complications. And without an injury attorney on your side, you will likely never be compensated for even a fraction of these real-life consequences.

Insurance companies often set limits on their settlements, offering victims of burn injury a set amount regardless of actual damages. The accident attorneys at The Cochran Firm place no such limitations on damages and aggressively pursue maximum compensation to ensure our clients get every penny they are due.
