How Much Compensation You Could Receive

Burn injuries are some of the most painful injuries you can have. That’s why it’s likely you’ll be eligible for non-economic damages like pain and suffering, loss of consortium, or disfigurement. Depending on your injuries, these damages could be substantial.
Plus, there are all the economic costs of your burn injury, like medical bills, gear, and prescriptions, as well as lost wages and others. You could even be eligible for exemplary damages by a court.
