We Will Seek Your Total Financial Recovery—We Know Burns Can Be Life-Changing
Severe burns can cause the body to “overreact,” prompting an immune response that may compromise vital organs and other body parts. Such serious health outcomes (in addition to the burn itself) can cause intense and wide-ranging damages, including:
Pain and Suffering
Burn survivors may suffer several non-economic damages that qualify as pain and suffering, including:
- Loss of self-esteem because of burns’ effects on one’s appearance
- Emotional anguish
- Psychological distress
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (which may stem from the event that caused your burns)
- Lost or impaired quality of life
- Suicidality
- Substance use disorders (SUDs)related to your burns
Christensen Law accepts assistance from mental health experts when diagnosing clients’ pain and suffering.
Lost Income
If your burns interrupt your career, you may suffer:
- Lost income
- Diminished earning power
- Lost bonuses
- Lost potential to earn promotions
- Lost benefits
If your burns cause an indefinite leave or permanent disability, we will account for long-term professional damages.
Diagnostic Medical Costs
You may need emergency treatment and other medical services just to diagnose the severity of your burns. The expense of such diagnostic services will be part of your case.
Surgical Costs
Mayo Clinic lists surgery among the treatments for serious burns. You may need skin grafts and other surgeries for health and cosmetic reasons, and surgery is typically expensive. We will demand that liable parties cover the cost of all burn-related surgeries.
Hospital Costs
If you must receive hospital care for burn-related medical conditions (including the burns themselves), we will calculate the cost of your hospital stay. If you have other medical bills for services related to your burns, we will include those bills in our settlement demands.
Christensen Law Will Lead Every Step of Your Burn Injury Case
The recovery process demands your full attention, so allow our team to:
- Identify liable parties and detail their negligence: Your attorney will determine who caused your burns. We will also identify parties with financial liability for your damages, even if those parties did not directly cause your injuries.
