Bakersfield Burn Injury Lawyer

Many people do not realize that the skin is the body’s largest organ, combatting toxic viruses and bacteria from invading you. It also regulates the body’s temperature. When someone causes severe burns to your body because they act negligently, you could be compromised in many ways. You may need skin grafts and plastic surgery, but even these remedies may not stem the infections and medical care you require in the future.

That is why you need a catastrophic injury attorney to hold the reckless person accountable for what has been done to you. You deserve an advocate who will win compensation commensurate with your injuries. Severe burns are irreversible, and we understand and support the level of care you deserve. For caring and tenacious advocacy, a Bakersfield burn injury lawyer is ready to listen to your story.

Causes of Burn Injuries

Although humans instinctively recoil after touching something they know will burn, some accidents prevent you from pulling away from danger. When a burn escalates to a third or fourth degree, the skin does not regrow. Burns are caused by:

Vehicular accidents that result in fires
Frayed and faulty wiring that ignites
Toxic chemical spills that erode the skin during improper cleanup
Commercial buildings with non-working fire extinguishers discovered when a fire breaks out
Locked fire exits in crowded theaters, nightclubs, and restaurants
Careless hikers who fail to extinguish a campfire in a wooded area and cause a catastrophe like the Borel fires in the Kern River Valley

Burn injuries often equate to a lifetime of specialized and expensive medical intervention. If someone else is responsible for an accident that causes these burns, they, or their insurance company, should pay for the damage they do. Our attorneys will study the medical reports and compare cases to ensure clients use their chance for compensation wisely.

Burn Injuries Caused by Negligence

People must uphold a standard of care to others so careless injuries are not rampant. The standard is to behave like a reasonable person in a similar situation. Failing to uphold this standard is a breach of duty, and if an accident with injuries ensues, negligence is established. These elements are necessary for our Bakersfield attorney to prove someone else caused a burn injury and hold them accountable for compensating the person they harmed.

Economic and Non-Economic Damages of a Burn

When the jury determines how much compensation to award a burn injury plaintiff, they consider economic damages that can be calculated, such as current and future medical care, and non-economic damages to which they must assign value. How much is disfigurement or battling ongoing infections worth? Pain and suffering and emotional trauma a patient suffers when they lose the capacity to enjoy life must be considered.

Our Bakersfield burn injury attorneys discuss these details in depth with clients. We also review police and physicians’ reports, interview witnesses, compile cell phone and surveillance videos, and uncover any evidence that helps us present the strongest case for compensation.
