Burn injuries are among the most devastating and life-altering experiences a person can endure. In Tulsa, our attorneys commonly handle burn injury cases caused by a variety of accidents, including:
Severe burns are not only incredibly painful but also medically complex, often affecting multiple body systems and requiring long-term care.
Burns are classified into three categories based on severity: first-, second-, and third-degree burns. Personal injury claims typically involve second- and third-degree burns, as these cause significant harm. Second-degree burns can lead to painful blisters, swelling, and deep tissue damage, while third-degree burns may result in nerve damage, permanent scarring, and even disability.
Generally, the more severe the burn, the higher the potential compensation in a legal claim. This is because serious burns often lead to extensive medical expenses, prolonged pain and suffering, lost wages, and long-term rehabilitation. For instance, a third-degree burn may require multiple surgeries, such as skin grafts, and could result in lasting disfigurement, disability, and emotional trauma. A skilled Tulsa attorney could help you determine the amount of compensation you might be eligible to receive based on the severity of your burn injuries.
Regardless of the cause of a burn injury, every case begins with a thorough review of the medical records. A Tulsa burn injury attorney could collaborate with medical professionals to assess the severity of your burns and determine the long-term care you may require, such as rehabilitation, chronic pain management, plastic surgery, or therapy for psychological trauma. Your lawyer will also work to identify the responsible parties and calculate the full value of the damages you may be entitled to pursue.
Beyond legal representation, an experienced burn injury attorney could help ensure you receive the highest quality medical care. If you are not already receiving the best possible treatment, your lawyer may be able to connect you with specialists or other healthcare providers. In this way, a skilled attorney not only fights for your financial recovery but also advocates for your physical and emotional well-being throughout the legal process.
Burn injuries can result in physical and emotional trauma as well as significant financial loss. If you have been hurt, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.
