Proving That Burn Injuries Were Caused By Negligence

There was a direct connection between another party's breach of duty and your burn injuries.Measurable Losses
This can include medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and future expenses related to the burn injury.The Value of a Qualified Attorney

The team at Rubin & Machado in Chicago has access to extensive resources and can pursue all possible avenues to uncover evidence that may establish fault.

Life-Changing Symptoms & Consequences of Burn Injuries
Pain
Even minor burns can cause intense and long-lasting pain. The pain may also range from an isolated part of the body to several areas, depending on the extent of your injuries. Suffering through the pain of your burn injury can affect all aspects of your life, including sleep, and prevent you from being able to complete even the simplest of tasks.
Skin Damage
Depending on the severity of your burn injuries, your skin may become red, swell, blister, become charred and numb, and be left with serious disfigurement. For first- and second-degree burns, the skin can often be treated with special ointments. However, for third-degree burns, extensive treatments such as grafting or intravenous (IV) antibiotics and fluids may be necessary to repair the skin.
Other Complications
Burn victims are often at risk of serious complications, including infections, fluid loss, and breathing problems. In some cases, these complications can even lead to death. You may also suffer a psychological impact, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which can affect you for years or even a lifetime.The Type of Case You Pursue Often Depends on the Cause of Your Burns
