What kinds of compensation can a burn survivor recover in a lawsuit?
A lawsuit is often the only means of obtaining the compensation needed to cope with burn injuries. The types of compensation that can be recovered depend on the particular circumstances of each individual but typically include monies for medical expenses (both past and future), rehabilitation costs and attendant care, assistive equipment and technology, home modifications to accommodate disabilities, lost income, lost earning capacity, pain, suffering, emotional distress, disfigurement, and disability. Since 1936, the law offices of Keller and Keller have been representing their clients with professional care and compassion. Please don’t hesitate to call our offices for a free consultation as well as discuss the type of compensation that may be rightfully yours.
