Fort Lauderdale - Miami Personal Injury Attorney
Burn Injuries in Miami, FL
There are more than 2 million burn injuries in the U.S. every year. Treatment for these types of injuries is painful and time consuming and nearly all victims suffer from serious scarring after the treatments are over. If the burn was caused by the recklessness or carelessness of another person though, the victim has legal recourse. A skilled Fort Lauderdale injury attorney can help you seek damages for any burn injuries suffered by you or a loved one.
While most people envision burn injuries involving flames, not all of these accidents are caused by fires. Chemical burns and smoke inhalation can be even more dangerous than open exposure to fire. Every type of burn injury requires a different method of treatment and for victims that have been in contact with chemicals, flames and smoke, the combined treatments can be excruciating. To make matters worse, the pain and emotional suffering these victims endure are not the only consequences. Medical expenses, even for people who have insurance, are often in the thousands and many victims simply cannot handle these massive medical bills. Fortunately, a skilled Fort Lauderdale injury lawyer can help you seek compensation for your pain, suffering, medical expenses, disfigurement, lost wages and more.
Burn injuries can be a result of a number of different factors. A young child may have been left unsupervised with flammable materials by a negligent parent. A careless neighbor may have fallen asleep with a cigarette in hand. A grossly negligent landlord may have ignored requests by the city to bring electrical wiring up to code. An arsonist, terrorist or a person making drugs out of his home may have caused a fire, explosion or chemical spill that resulted in you injuries. Whatever the reason, your Fort Lauderdale injury attorney can help you track down the person responsible and hold them financially liable for your suffering.
If you or a loved one has been injured or killed after a serious burn injury, you may be entitled to compensation. Please call The Law Offices of Gilbert & Smallman today and schedule your free initial consultation with a skilled Fort Lauderdale injury lawyer.
