Burn Injury

Each year in the United States, 1.1 million burn injuries require medical intervention. The pain and difficulty caused by burn injuries can be truly excruciating. Burn injuries often result from unsafe products or negligence. These cases may involve complex issues of liability and damages. Evidence may literally go up in smoke, and witnesses can be too shocked to remember the accident scenario. So, these cases require detailed analysis and investigation. A burn is a complex injury, defined as tissue damage caused by an agent such as heat or chemicals. Burns can be caused by:

  • Automobile Accidents
  • Gas Cans
  • Truck Accidents
  • Gas Fire & Explosions
  • House fires caused by appliance failure (such as clothes dryers or heaters)
  • House fires caused by cigarettes
  • Smoke detectors which fail to activate until it is too late
  • Household and industrial chemicals with inadequate warnings
  • Automobiles with improperly placed gasoline tanks
  • Electric blankets
  • Heating pads
  • Scalding or Hot Water
  • Electrical Accidents
  • Industrial Fires caused by chemicals or defective equipment
  • Gasoline Spills
  • Building Fires
  • Defective Candles
  • Lighters & Matches
  • Clothing, where suppliers of uniforms have failed to recommend flame resistant uniforms

Seriously burned people often need focused and expert care to deal with the long-term physical and psychological effects of their injuries. The procedures to treat burns, the various therapies, and the care available beyond acute care, are all important factors to consider. The psychological recovery for a burn survivor cannot be underestimated, either. The Michael Jeffcoat Firm understands that an injured person needs to get medical bills paid and covered, to make sure financially losses are eliminated or minimized, and to make sure the appropriate insurance company will pay for future treatment relating to the injury.
