Our Minneapolis, St Paul Burn Injury Attorneys Understand the Problems Of Burn Victims

One of the most painful injuries a person can sustain is from a burn. Burn injuries are complex, and they can affect not only the skin but also muscles, nerves, blood vessels, and bones. Burn injuries may also have long-term consequences such as scarring and emotional issues.

At Lord & Faris we’ve helped burn victims in their fight for fair financial compensation, not only for their injury and the resulting financial impact on their lives, but also to permit them to have the long-term care they need to recover from their injuries. In addition to specialized surgeries and hospitalizations, burn victims often face further treatment such as skin grafts to minimize scarring as well as therapy to help them regain dexterity. At times counseling or psychiatric care is needed.

The pain and suffering burn injury victims face is often compounded by the anxiety they face when the medical bills and loss of income mount.

Burn injuries can come from many sources, and can result in varying degrees of injury. Burns may result from:

• Chemical burns from common items such as drain cleaners, battery acid, and pool chemicals
• Electrical burns, which often result in internal injuries which are not immediately evident
• Airway burns from inhaling hot steam, smoke, or toxic fumes
• Thermal burns and scalds from fire, hot metal, splattering grease or oil, hot liquids, or explosions
• Radiation burns from sources such as x-rays and tanning beds

We were able to help a young woman who had been burned as a young child by coffee at a fast food restaurant. A hot coffee spill caused light scarring of her chest. She contacted us when she became 18 and we assisted her in obtaining fair compensation for her injuries. Another young woman received second and third degree burns from a radiator explosion in her car when the repair facility attached the wrong radiator cap. We are currently working with her to see that she receives just and fair compensation.

Regardless of the source or extent of the burn injury, immediate medical attention is crucial, even if there is no apparent damage. And if you or a loved one has sustained a burn injury, it is imperative that you contact a Minnesota personal injury attorney who specializes in representation of burn injury victims.
