How Can a Los Angeles Burn Injury Lawyer Help?

In California, not all burn injury victims are eligible for financial compensation through the justice system. California law places the burn of proof on the injured victim before that victim can obtain a settlement or verdict. This burden requires one to prove that someone else’s negligence contributed to the injuries. In the situation that someone else could have reasonably prevented the incident that caused your burn injuries, contacting an experienced Los Angeles burn injury attorney can protect your rights. At MKS Law Group, our lawyers will walk you through the process necessary to bring a claim.

Causes of Burn Injuries

If someone else negligently or intentionally caused or contributed to your burn injuries, you may be entitled to financial compensation. The first step that your Los Angeles Burn Injury lawyer will take is to analyze whether the burn injury will be someone else’s liability. Causes of burn injuries can allow your attorney to scope out the defendant, such as an employer or product manufacturer. Common causes of serious burn injuries in Los Angeles include:

• Car accidents
• Fires & Explosions
• Dangerous household appliances
• Chemical spills 
• Defective products
• Physical abuse
• Workplace accidents

Once our firm identifies the cause of your burn injuries and the correct defendant or defendants, our attorneys will help you file a burn injury claim in order to meet California’s strict statute of limitations. In California, burn injury survivors generally have two years from the date of the incident to file their civil claims. In the event you miss this deadline, your right to any compensation can be automatically forfeited. MKS Law Group’s lawyers will handle the paperwork and make sure your claim is timely filed while you can focus on healing from your burn injuries. 

Treatment for Burn Injuries

The treatment needed for burn injuries is largely dependent on the type of burn injury an individual has suffered. Burn injuries include:

• First Degree Burns: The least serious of burns, which may result in pain and/or redness to the outer layer of skin. First degree burns are typically treated with creams or antibiotic ointments. Even with these types of burns, the use of pain medication may be necessary as first degree burns can still result in severe pain.
• Second Degree Burns: These types of burns impact both the outer layer and lower layer of one’s skin. Such burns can typically result in redness, pain, swelling, and possibly blistering. The chances of contracting an infection increases as a result of these burns. Second degree burns often take longer to heal in comparison to first degree burns.
• Third Degree Burns: These types of burns are the most serious, and can not only affect both the outer and lower layer of skin, but also the deeper tissues. The treatment for such burns may last a lifetime and can be extremely costly. One who has suffered a third degree burn may require multiple surgeries, such as skin grafts, and/or plastic or reconstructive surgeries. In some instances, burns can result in the need for a limb to be amputated. Such injuries can sometimes even prove to be fatal.
