The American Burn Association reports that 1.1 million burn injuries require medical attention in the US each year. A burn causes tissue damage when heat or chemicals come in contact with the skin. Burn injuries can cause not only skin damage, but also serious damage to muscles, nerve endings, and other tissues under the skin. This sort of serious injury can cause mobility problems.
The burn injury claims attorneys at Flaxman Law Group have worked with many burn injury survivors, and we know this can be one of the most devastating injuries to sustain. Our legal team works diligently with burn patients to recover fair compensation. With the average lifetime costs of a serious burn injury amounting to over $1 million in some cases, fair financial recovery is crucial to help these patients rebuild their lives.
What Causes Burn Injuries?There are many causes for burn injuries:
No matter what a burn injury is caused by, though, this sort of personal injury can cause serious pain and suffering. Burn victims may suffer serious trauma and psychological pain. They may dread leaving the house or resuming normal social and work duties.
Tissue pain resulting from burns can plague victims for months, and even years. Lengthy rehabilitation may be needed to regain lost mobility. Today’s medical advances mean skin graft surgeries and other advanced treatments are available to restore the look of burned skin and to help a patient heal. Advanced pain management techniques can also help burn sufferers handle the pain of their condition.
Unfortunately, burn victims often face an uphill battle when seeking assistance. Many insurance companies view reconstruction treatments as purely cosmetic and may offer little or no assistance for this sort of surgery, even though it may be needed for victims to recover physically and emotionally from their injuries.
