Burn Injuries
Second and Third degree burn injuries are exceedingly painful and sometimes life threatening. Healing time is variable and sometimes requires skin grafts and other specialized medical services. Certain types of burns leave significant scarring and skin deformity which can lead to longer term dermatological treatment needs. In Connecticut, despite improvements in vehicle, work place and product safety, burn injuries continue to occur with regularity. A Liability injury claim brought on behalf of those affected often crosses several practice areas with which my firm is well acquainted. Many of these injuries occur in the work environment and involve construction site injuries , mobile equipment , vehicles and consumer products which malfunction or are misued. Physical and psychlogic recovery following a serious burn incident is definitely a process. After stabilizing medical care is received, financial security and taking account of rehabilitative needs is essential. Often times those so injured will need to pursue a workers compensation claim, a general negligence claim and on occasion a products liability or medical malpractice claim as well.
We can handle all aspects of these matters for you so you will not require a separate firm to handle your workers compensation case and another to investigate a general liability tort claim. We have received multiple substantial verdicts and settlements in this area including both six and seven figure results for our clients. My firm works with all manner of engineering, construction safety, OSHA Safety and accident reconstruction specialists who provide essential investigation, reconstruction and expert witness services to for the benefit of our clients. We take an exhaustive approach to developing these claims. My Firm has handled and investigated cases involving a wide variety of circumstances leading to this outcome. We work closely with life care planners who assist in both the litigation aspects and assist in developing personal coping mechanisms for our clients.
Contact us now and we will aggressively and tirelessly pursue your case. Getting legal help early is perhaps the single most important thing you can do now. Please keep in mind that strict Statute of Limitation periods apply and often case results can be enhanced by early involvement of councel in order to secure critical evidence, witness statements and avoid unhelpful contact between you and an insurance adjuster or investigator. We pursue these types of cases, when justified, strictly on a contingency fee basis and advance all costs of investigation which you are not responsible for unless we recover a Judgement or settlement on your behalf.
