Causes of a Burn Injury
Burns can be caused by any number of incidents, including automobile and truck accidents, motorcycle collisions, plant explosions, chemical exposure, manufacturing incidents, residential fires, etc. No matter the nature of the incident, if a third party’s negligence caused your burns, you are entitled to fair compensation. What is fair is dependent upon how badly you have been injured and how those injuries, including burns, have impacted and will continue to impact your life.
Damages for Burn Injuries
North Carolina recognizes several different types of “damages,” including:
(1) Past and future medical, pharmaceutical, and other health care expenses;
(2) Past and future lost wages and diminished earning capacity;
(3) Loss of use of a body part;
(4) Past and future physical and emotional pain and suffering;
(5) Past and future disfigurement.
Expert witnesses such as life care planners and economists can calculate these damages. Our firm will assist you in locating the experts needed to present your case. Without such experts, it can be difficult to recover full compensation in a serious burn injury case. We will also help highlight the daily difficulties associated with your burns, including the emotional trauma of disfigurement and pain.
