Burn Injury Lawyer Chattanooga, TN

Compassionate Legal Representation From Our Chattanooga, TN Burn Injury Lawyer

Burns are one of the most severe, painful injuries that someone can experience. Whether you suffered chemical burns, electrocution, or burns from heat or fire, the result is usually the same: large, painful blisters across a wide swath of your body. Treating burn injuries can get tricky, as there is a high risk of infection; many patients require a long hospital stay or treatment in a skilled nursing facility to recover. The treatment, including skin grafts, is expensive, but if your burn injuries were due to someone else’s negligence, then you may be able to get compensation for your treatment and other losses. Our Chattanooga, TN burn injury lawyer can explain your options.

Types Of Burn Injury Claims We Handle

Burn injury claims are filed by the victim (the plaintiff) against the person or entity (such as a healthcare facility, job site, or consumer product manufacturer) whose negligence caused the burns. Because burn injuries can occur in many different ways, it’s important to work with attorneys who have experience litigating all types of cases involving burn injuries.

We represent clients who suffered burn injuries because of:

• Electrocution: The defendant could be a construction site worker or subcontractor, a property owner, the electrician who installed wiring or an appliance, or the manufacturer of an electrical device that malfunctioned
• Car and semi-truck accidents: The defendant is usually the other driver, although if a commercial vehicle is involved, the trucking company may be a defendant as well
• Workplace accidents: The defendant could be your employer, a subcontractor, or a vendor
• Chemical burns: The defendant may be the manufacturer of a dangerous consumer product, your employer, or even your school

These are just a few examples of typical burn injury cases we handle. We begin by investigating your accident to determine its cause and pinpoint the defendant. Then, we build a case against them, seeking compensation in a negotiated settlement or a jury award if we win at trial.

Compensation Available For Burn Injury Victims

Between the acute care and multiple skin grafts, plus the need for consistent nursing care to prevent infection, bills quickly add up. You’re eligible for all related medical care, plus compensation for other material losses, including lost wages from when you could not work and any property damage.

You can also claim compensation for your pain and suffering, which may be almost unbearable, as well as the emotional trauma of the accident. Our Chattanooga burn injury lawyer can accurately total your losses, both material and non-material, and negotiate a favorable settlement on your behalf.
