Common Causes of Burn Injuries

Burn injuries can happen in various scenarios, but many are preventable and caused by negligence. Understanding the source of your injury is the key to building a strong case and determining liability.

Frequent Causes of Burn Injuries:

Vehicle Accidents: Fires or explosions from car crashes often result in severe burns, requiring costly treatments.
Workplace Incidents: Employees in industrial settings may suffer burns from exposure to hot machinery, chemicals, or explosions, often due to unsafe work conditions.
Residential Fires: Neglect, faulty wiring, or defective appliances can lead to house fires that cause severe injuries and financial losses.
Scalding from Hot Liquids or Steam: Burn injuries frequently occur in kitchens or restaurants due to lack of adherence to safety guidelines.
Defective Products: Appliances, equipment, or chemicals that malfunction or fail to meet safety standards can cause accidents and burns.
Medical Negligence: Misuse of medical equipment or improperly administered procedures can lead to burns that harm patients significantly.

If your burn injury was caused by any of these circumstances, Carpenter & Zuckerman is here to hold the responsible parties accountable and fight for the compensation you need.

Compensation for Burn Injury Victims

The impact of burn injuries extends far beyond the physical. Dealing with ongoing treatments, lost income, and the emotional strain of recovery requires significant resources. Filing a burn injury claim can help you recover the financial support necessary to rebuild your life.

Damages You May Recover:

Medical Costs: Coverage for surgeries, medications, rehabilitation, and other current and future healthcare needs.
Pain and Suffering: Compensation for the physical and emotional toll of your injury.
Lost Wages: Reimbursement for income lost due to recovery or reduced earning potential caused by permanent injuries.
Property Damage: Reimbursement for personal property harmed in the incident, such as vehicles or belongings.
Psychological Support: Compensation for emotional distress, including anxiety, depression, or PTSD stemming from the injury.

Carpenter & Zuckerman will meticulously evaluate your case to ensure that no potential type of compensation is overlooked.

Washington’s Statute of Limitations for Burn Injury Claims

Act quickly and consult with Carpenter & Zuckerman to ensure your case is filed timely and effectively.
