Burn injuries are serious injuries that affect an estimated 500,000 people every year. Victims of burn injuries often not only have significant physical obstacles to overcome, but mental and emotional obstacles to overcome as well.
When another individual is responsible for causing burn injuries to another person, through negligence, recklessness, or willful intent, the injured person may be entitled to seek compensation for his or her injuries.
It is important to speak with an experienced California burn victim attorney before you accept a settlement offer from an insurance company. Since burn injuries often have a severe and lasting impact on a person’s life, it is imperative to know how much your claim is really worth.
While an initial settlement may sound like a lot of money and may cover your immediate expenses, you must consider the long-term expense associated with your injury as well. Things like loss of future earning potential, continued physical and psychological therapy, and loss of enjoyment of life are examples of things that should be considered when calculating the value of a claim.
Determining the true value of a burn injury claim is often complex, as there are a significant number of non-economic losses (i.e., pain and suffering) to consider. Our experienced California burn victim attorneys can help you assess the true value of your claim so that you don’t settle for less than you deserve.
