What are Common Burn Injury Accidents?
Burn injuries can range from mild to severe and can be truly life-altering for burn victims. While most people are aware of the dangers associated with fires, many people do not realize that other types of accidents can also lead to potentially severe burn injuries.
Some common accidents where burn injury victims may be able to pursue legal action include but are not limited to:
- Car Accidents: Burn injuries can result from a car accident when a person is trapped in a burning vehicle, burns because of spilled hot liquids or steam, or is exposed to chemicals that ignite
- Oilfield Accidents: While oil and gas extraction accidents are nothing new in the state of Texas, they still occur with alarming frequency each year. When these types of companies fail to take proper safety precautions, burn injury victims may be able to pursue legal action on behalf of their health and livelihoods.
- Construction Sites: Whether you’ve been injured at the site of a building project or some other type of construction site accident where you were burned by some sort of chemical reaction or malfunctioning machinery

What Damages Can I Claim Through My Personal Injury Lawsuit?
As a burn injury victim, you may be entitled to certain types of damages depending on the amount and extent of your injuries. Among these include but are not limited to:
Medical Bills/Pharmaceutical Costs: Many accident victims end up incurring a substantial amount of medical bills following their accidents due to prolonged hospital stays, specialist visits, surgeries, ongoing rehabilitation programs, medications, and more. Each time that a person must visit the doctor or obtain prescription medication will incur additional fees that can quickly add up to thousands of dollars or more.
Physical Pain and Suffering: As with most personal injury claims stemming from an accident resulting in severe burns – pain and suffering is likely involved as well.
Lost Wages: Burn injury victims will also likely end up facing lost wages as they are out of work during the course of their recovery process. This includes more than simply time off from your job; burn injuries can often mean that you must miss entire shifts at work or even lose your job entirely due to restrictions on your ability to perform certain tasks.
Should I Settle My Case Outside of Court?
Settling your burn injury case outside of court may seem like the easiest and most logical option, but it is important to note that this doesn’t always mean it is advised. Some insurance companies offer settlements that are far less than what burn victims deserve. In situations like this, we fight for the rights of burn victims in court in order to get the maximum compensation possible. When you decide to let a personal injury attorney handle your claim, you can rest assured that legal counsel will do everything possible to maximize the value of your settlement when possible or fight for your rights in court when necessary.
