Gainesville Burn Injury Attorney Fight for Your Rights and Damages

It is common for people to think that burn injuries are fairly minor, but they are not. A serious burn will take a physical, psychological, and financial toll on the person who suffers from it, as well as their family. Our Gainesville burn injury attorneys understand the difficulties you face with this type of catastrophic injury, but you don’t need to handle this alone. We are here to assist with your fight for compensation.

Our dedicated team of Gainesville personal injury attorneys can provide the steadfast legal representation you need at this time to recover the appropriate compensation that will fully cover the cost of your injury.

Our Burn Injury Lawyers Will Fight for Every Dollar You Deserve

Insurance companies don’t want to give you the compensation you deserve. This can be especially true in high-value cases like burn injuries, where you may have required emergency care, like wound debriding, skin grafts, or reconstructive surgery. Our team won’t let the insurer get away with paying you less than you deserve. We will fight for compensation for every one of your economic and non-economic damages, including:

• Medical bills, e.g., emergency medical treatment, emergency transportation to UF Health Shands Burn Center, surgeries, pain medications, assistive devices, hospital stays, ongoing medical care, and physical therapy
• Lost wages if your injuries keep you out of work
• Lost earning capacity if your burn injuries affect your mobility and ability to work in the future
• Any out-of-pocket expenses related to the burn injury
• Pain and suffering and other non-economic damages

If you lost a loved one to burn injuries in Gainesville, our wrongful death attorneys will fight for justice and the compensation your family needs.

Our Attorneys Know the Common Causes and Lasting Effects of Burn Injuries

Serious accidents are often to blame for burn injuries. Traffic accidents, like car accidents, truck wrecks, and motorcycle accidents, can result in a vehicle catching fire or gas tanks exploding, resulting in very serious burn injuries to accident victims. Faulty wiring and other hazardous conditions on a property can result in a fire that has devastating impacts. Negligent supervision at a daycare or childcare center can result in children suffering serious burns.

Regardless of what caused your injury, treatment will likely include a number of invasive procedures that are lengthy and costly. Surgeries, skin grafts, and rehabilitation can take several months or even years. You may never make a full recovery after a burn injury. Amputations and disfigurement are not uncommon due to the fact that burns can cause permanent damage to the nerves and tissues in the body.

Our Attorney Can Help You File a Burn Injury Claim

If you have suffered a burn injury due to the negligent or careless actions of another person, you may be able to file a claim for financial compensation. To do this, you must prove another party was at fault for the accident that resulted in your injury. In legal terms, this means you must prove another person was negligent and that they are liable for the costs of your injury and related losses.

Acting negligently is the failure to exercise reasonable care. When filing a claim based on negligence, you must prove that someone else owed you a duty of care and that they breached that duty, which caused an accident that resulted in injuries.

If you can show that the act of carelessness was a violation of the law (e.g., drunk driving), this is considered negligence per se. This means you do not have to prove the act of negligence, but only that the defendant caused an accident and you suffered a serious burn as a result.

Our team will handle this process on your behalf. We’ll gather the necessary evidence and use it to build a case to hold the responsible party(s) liable.
