Athens Burn Injury Attorneys

Hence, burn injury victims need access to advanced medical care, such as advanced grafting techniques. These costly procedures and other financial impacts can lead to financial ruin without compensation from liable parties.

Maximum Compensation for Your Burn Injuries

Justice cannot change the past. However, it can provide significant relief from overwhelming situations involving long-term pain, suffering, and financial loss. At Kaufman Injury Law, we take the time to build the strongest case possible in order to recover as much compensation as we can for your future. 

Liability

Liability for your burn injury will depend on the precise circumstances of the incident that harmed you. The following are situations where burn injuries typically occur and potentially liable parties.

• Traffic Accidents: Drivers, car makers, and road contractors
• Work Accidents: Third parties, employers without workers’ comp, and intentionally violent parties
• Medical Malpractice: Doctors, nurses, technicians, and hospital admin
• Defective Products: Product designers, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers
• Residential and Lodging Units: Apartment building managers and owners, hotel staff, management, and owners

When you become our client, we will take the time necessary to properly identify every liable party (in many cases, there is more than one) and hold them accountable. 

Traffic Accidents

Traffic accidents, whether on Highway 41 or W Main Street, are common causes of burn injuries due to the presence of gasoline and superheated car parts. Our team gets down to the bottom of your traffic accident and subsequent burn injury and aggressively pursues the money you are owed. 

Generally speaking, any unlawful traffic behavior can ultimately lead to burn injuries, including:

• Speeding
• Driving while intoxicated
• Tailgating
• Improper lane change
• Failure to yield or stop

In some cases, a faulty vehicle is to blame for traffic accidents. Whatever the cause, you can rely on Kaufman Injury Law to pursue the maximum allowed in your case. 

Work Accidents

Burn accidents at dangerous work sites are common. However, a burn injury can occur at any place of business, including restaurants, construction sites, or even at a retail job at Athens West Shopping Center.

Whether you are pursuing workers’ comp or damages from a personal injury lawsuit, we’ll fight to get you what you should receive and not what the insurance companies want to pay.

Medical Malpractice

Medical professionals and hospitals can be held liable for acts of malpractice that cause burns. They are required by law to uphold clear and accepted standards of medical treatment and care. Various failures can cause burns, such as failures involving:

• Medical tools and devices
• MRI machines
• Testing and imaging equipment

Medical professionals may also be held liable for failures in the treatment of burn injuries. Poor treatment can cause burns to become significantly worse.

Defective Products

Many of the products people purchase are capable of causing burns when manufacturing, design, or other issues are involved. Cars, for instance, can catch fire and explode due to defective parts as might any of the thousands of electronic products available today. 

Depending on the circumstances, a victim may hold some or all of the following parties responsible after being burned by a defective product:

• Designer
• Manufacturer/assembler
• Distributor
• Retailer

As a consumer, you deserve to spend your hard-earned money on products that work properly and do no harm. If a product has harmed you, we’ll investigate the entire manufacturing and distribution chain to find every liable party and hold them accountable. 

Residential Unit Fires

Multiple-family housing units, hotels, and the like should all be equipped with proper fire safety equipment, including fire extinguishers and smoke detectors. Additionally, these locations should have proper exit signs and routes as well as units with proper egress. 

Sadly, this is not always the case. If you or someone you care about was burned in a residential fire, call on our team to investigate the incident and pursue full damages. 

What to Do After a Burn Injury

What you do after a burn injury can protect you from further injury and safeguard your compensation claim. In every case, prompt medical and legal services are crucial for your future. 

Medical Care

Prompt medical care will get you the answers to the questions you need, such as:

• How serious is my burn injury?
• What treatments will be necessary for my burn injury?
• How long will my burn injury take to heal?

Medical care will also get you the treatment you need for injuries of this nature. Remember that during and after treatment, you should do everything reasonably possible to comply with doctor’s orders. Failure to do so can not only set your recovery back but also negatively affect your compensation claim. 

Legal Representation

Securing legal representation is strongly recommended for numerous reasons, principally because it typically leads to a stronger compensation case and helps you beat legal deadlines for claims.

Regarding the latter, there is a statute of limitations on personal injury claims, such as burn injury claims. In Georgia, this deadline grants injury victims two years from the date of injury to initiate legal action in the form of a lawsuit. Once legal action is commenced, the clock stops ticking.

In relation to the strength of your case, seeking legal representation promptly allows your burn injury attorneys to immediately get to work fighting for you. Evidence is always stronger and clearer the closer to the incident it is collected, especially witness testimony. Once you become our client, our burn injury team can get to work right away building your case. 

Keep All Paperwork and Documents

Burn accidents and resulting medical treatment are both paperwork-heavy occurrences, especially in cases involving serious injury and extensive medical treatment. 

To help your case for compensation, it is recommended that you hold on to all paperwork, documents, and forms related to your case. When you meet with an attorney, these pieces of evidence will help your lawyer serve you much more completely.
