How Are Awards of Compensation Different in Florida Cases Involving Burn Injuries?
Severe burn injuries can cause excruciating and ongoing pain and suffering for the victim. In some cases, the pain may be unbearable, and pain management through the use of traditional medications may be totally ineffective. Our Florida burn injury lawyers fight to hold the responsible party liable for compensation for:
- Medical expenses: Burn victims may require extensive hospitalization in specialized burn units, in addition to consultations with specialists such as cosmetic surgeons and respiratory specialists. These expenses can quickly escalate before the long-term care plan is even finalized.
- Continued care: Severe burn victims will require long-term continuing care, often in the form of skin grafts that occur over long intervals of time because of the pain associated with the grafts. Long-term pain management costs can be extensive, and they must be accounted for in any compensation package for burn injuries.
- Lost wages: Burn injuries can be so severe and painful that it might be difficult for the victim to return to work for an extended period of time. Our attorneys fight to ensure that both current and future lost wages are included in our clients’ compensation for burn injuries.
- Pain and suffering: Pain and suffering can be difficult to quantify, even in a case involving severe burns. An experienced personal injury attorney who is proficient in burn injury cases may be key in maximizing an award for pain and suffering in these difficult cases.

Frequently Asked Questions About South Florida Burn Injuries
Even if the cause of your burn injury is obvious, such as when a drunk driver causes a car accident that results in burn injuries, a personal injury lawyer will often be necessary in order to establish the amount of compensation to which you are entitled. Insurance companies will typically attempt to pay the lowest possible amount in all cases, and a lawyer can negotiate a fair settlement by providing expert testimony, evidence regarding future medical care, and evidence of lost future earnings capacity.
You should contact an attorney as soon as possible if you believe that another party was responsible for your burn injuries. An attorney can begin to investigate the accident site and any remaining evidence to determine the responsible party. The sooner this investigation begins, the more likely it is that all negligent and reckless parties will be identified. The investigation can also be important to establish that the injured party was not partially at fault for the accident, which could help you to avoid a reduction in available compensation.
