What Caused Your Burn Injury?

Determining the cause of an accident and identifying a negligent party is the first step in handling a burn injury case. At Leopold & Associates, we represent people who have suffered burn injures resulting from a variety of negligent accidents:

Depending on the nature of the accident and injuries, the accident victim may be eligible for compensation to cover medical bills, plastic reconstructive surgery, and other costs. Compensation may also be available for lost wages, pain and suffering associated with scarring and disfigurement, and more.

Burns and Infections

One of the biggest threats to people who have suffered burn injuries is infection. The skin protects the body from infection. When this barrier is damaged by a 2nd or 3rd degree burn, victims are at high risk for becoming infected. Hospitals have a responsibility to take measures to prevent infection, and can be held accountable when a burn victim suffers further.

If you have suffered a 2nd or 3rd degree burn and have been infected while under hospital care, contact an attorney to determine if you have a case.
