If you or a family member has suffered a severe burn injury you
should consult with a lawyer who is experienced in this complex area of
law. At McElyea & Barnard, P.A., our attorneys can help you
determine whether you have a strong personal injury claim. We will
fight on your behalf for the maximum compensation allowable under law.
Severe burn injury victims may be entitled to compensation for:
- Payment of medical bills.
Victims can receive compensation for past and future medical expenses,
including hospitalization, surgical procedures, ongoing medical care,
counseling, scar revision and cosmetic surgery, physical therapy, and
occupational therapy.
- Compensation for lost wages. Injured individuals may be entitled to payment for any lost wages, past and future.
- Compensation for pain and suffering. Victims may be entitled to compensation for any pain and suffering resulting from a severe burn injury.
- Vocational rehabilitation.
When victims are unable to resume their former professional duties,
they are often entitled to compensation in order to be retrained for a
new job or occupation.
- Loss of consortium.
Family members may also be entitled to compensation. Dependents of
deceased individuals, for example, should always consider filing a
wrongful death claim. If a spouse's severe burn injury is so severe
that it interferes with your family's well-being, you may be able to
recover compensation for loss of support and companionship.
If
you have suffered a severe burn injury as a result of another party's
reckless, careless, or negligent actions, you may be entitled to
compensation. Contact an Orlando, Florida-area severe burn injury lawyer to discuss your situation. |
