Burn injuries can be particularly catastrophic and are often unpredictable for many. If you have suffered burns in a preventable accident, a burn injury attorney in Mesa from Zanes Law Injury Lawyers can guide you through the process of filing a claim against the responsible party.

According to the Arizona Burn Center, people get burned in many ways and places: at work, in school, at the supermarket, and many other places. And in most of those cases, someone else’s negligence is behind it. If you or a loved one have experienced this firsthand, let us show you some important information.

Victims of Burn Injuries Can Sue in Mesa, Arizona

There are many legal paths you can take if you suffer a burn injury in Mesa. For instance, if your injuries were someone else’s responsibility, you can file a personal injury claim. Keep in mind Arizona is a fault-based state, which means you must be able to prove your case to get compensation.

However, Arizona is a so-called “no-fault” state when it comes to workers’ compensation, which means injured workers will get benefits no matter whose fault it was in their accident. You can claim damages for the burn injury, lost wages, and medical expenses, among other costs.

Burn Injury Degrees and Treatments

Our Mesa burn injury lawyers understand that burn injuries can happen anywhere and are often consequences of negligent behavior. The most common situations that can produce a burn injury are car accidents, chemical or electrical accidents, or kitchen injuries.

While many burn injuries occur only on the skin, there are more severe types where internal organs can get affected too. The injury’s severity and the treatment cost can be very high in those situations.

The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) categorizes the magnitude of a burn injury in four degrees:

First-Degree Burn

These are also called superficial burns and usually occur at the skin level. First-degree burns can form redness, minor inflammation, or dryness with pain.

Symptoms tend to disappear shortly. The injuries can heal between seven and ten days, and they don’t even leave a scar in many cases.

Most first-degree burns need only time and home care to heal, such as soaking the wound in cold water, using aloe vera or gel cream, and taking over-the-counter painkillers.

Second-Degree Burn

Second-degree burns can cause deeper damage to the skin and cause blisters, redness, and pain. Some of those blisters can pop open and cause more irritation. While second-degree burs can be more serious, some can still get treated at home.

The best way to take care of a second-degree burn is by cleaning and disinfecting the wound and applying some burning cream or topical treatment.

When the injury occurs in the face, hands, or feet, the best option is to get medical attention.

Third-Degree Burn

One of the most severe burn injuries, third-degree burns can affect many layers of skin and leave permanent scars. Contrary to popular belief, third-degree burs can be completely painless due to heat damage to the nervous system.

If they are not treated properly with surgery, third-degree burns can leave severe scarification and permanent skin damage.

Emergency assistance is necessary to treat third-degree burns. You should never try to self-treat one.

Fourth-Degree Burn

Fourth-degree burns have similar extension and severity to third-degree burns, but they also extend to other body organs and not only the skin.

These are the most severe burn injuries since the damage can affect many bodily function systems.

Long-Term Consequences of a Burn Injury

The consequences of a burn injury can range from skin level to life-threatening situations. In all those cases, victims need medical attention. But that’s not the only thing they may need.

Depending on the physical consequences of a victim’s burn injuries, they may not be able to go back to work, or they may need to switch careers to adapt to their new abilities after the incident.

The pain and suffering from a burn injury, lack of income, and uncertainty about the future can give rise to all types of mental health issues, such as anxiety or depression.

Burn injuries can devastate a person’s self-esteem since their physical appearance can change drastically. In Arizona, you have legal options to demand compensation from the responsible parties and make them pay for all your present and future medical and assistance expenses.

This was the 1st time I've used Zanes Law. It was a fantastic experience for having to go through a situation most would rather not. The attorney and staff were always available to answer my questions and explained things clearly and were obviously 100% in my corner. My attorney, Jim, was very genuine and made me immediately comfortable when I came in to speak with him about my case. Every case manager I dealt with was patient and helpful. I would definitely return to Zanes should the time ever come again that I need a personal injury firm.

Zanes Law was a terrific legal experience. I first went to a law firm that only wanted me to go to physical therapy and pad the bill, so they could utilize my insurance policy to its capacity. Once I went to Zanes, they were honest, professional and prompt with calls almost once a week. Sometimes I got a call just because we did not have contact for close to two weeks. Some calls were to just ask how I was doing. I also received more money than originally discussed. Great job Zanes Law!!!!! If need be I will use their services again. THANKS

What Damages Can I Get from a Burn Injury Lawsuit?

While it is hard to come up with a price dollar figure without the specifics of your case, our Mesa burn injury attorneys have helped victims of many burn injury accidents to get some of these damages covered:

  • Medical benefits: Medical expenses you have as a consequence of the burn injury. That can mean your actual medical debts and the cost of future treatments, like physical and emotional therapy.
  • Lost wages: Many people cannot return to their old job after a severe burn injury. Many other cases need to adapt to their new physical and emotional situation. In both cases, they deserve compensation for lost present and future wages.
  • Disability: Burn injuries on internal organs can cause all types of long-term disabilities. People may need medical equipment installed at home or expensive surgeries only to stabilize them.

How Can a Mesa Burn Injury Lawyer Help?

Burn injuries can be hard to recover from and require many types of medical attention, depending on their severity. A dermatologist needs to treat the skin, but many victims will also need a physiatrist, neurologist, and even a plastic surgeon.

But even after medical assistance, burn injuries tend to leave scars and disabilities on their victims, which can be treated with emotional and occupational therapy. A burn injury attorney in Mesa from Zanes Law can help you hold the responsible parties accountable for all your medical and psychological expenses.
