Burn Injuries

Burns can be extremely serious and result in intense pain and scarring. Disfigurement, scarring, and subsequent infection are a common consequence of burn injuries. Burns may affect not only the outer layers of the skin, but all layers of skin and in some cases even internal organs and bone.

When burn injuries are severe, the chances of surviving are far less likely. Fire, electricity, chemical exposure, and radiation are all causes of burn injuries. Over one half of a million people are treated every year for burn injuries and over 7,000 people die every year due to burn-related incidents.

When a burn is extensive, the chances of infection are high and in such a case, death is often the result.

If you or a loved one has suffered from burn-related injuries, it is in your best interests to speak with a Ventura County personal injury attorney as early as possible after the accident. The firm has helped many burn victims to recover the maximum compensation they are due from the responsible parties.

Second and third degree burns can lead to lengthy hospital stays, permanent disabilities and extensive rehabilitation. Not only are you dealing with expensive medical bills, but your whole family may be mentally overwhelmed by the occurrence. In addition, you have to deal with painful injuries that keep you from your routine activities.
