Oklahoma City Burn Victim Lawyers

Fire Burns and Injuries

Fire burns are devastating and not all that uncommon. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports fires injure one person every 31 minutes. Recovery time for burn injuries is extensive, costly and extremely painful. Most burn injuries occur as a result of domestic fires started by cooking mishaps, but sometimes another person’s negligence is at fault.

A defect in a product’s design, manufacturing or marketing may be the cause for a burn victim’s pain. Sometimes a maintenance or repair person fails to fix a potentially hazardous issue in a household appliance or an employer’s negligence regarding policy and safety regulations might have caused a fire or explosion in a factory or oil rig. If you have experienced serious fire burns and suspect another person’s negligence to be responsible for your injuries, you may be eligible for compensation and should seek professional legal representation immediately.

High Costs for Burn Victims

The costs for burn victims are financial, physical and emotional:

• Financial: The CDC says that about $575,000.00 are spent to treat each person injured in a fire. This involves ER care, ongoing medical visits, rehab and physical therapy, medications and surgeries. Sometimes health insurance companies will not pay for all the expenses necessary for recovery, resulting in large amounts of debt for burn victims and their families.
• Physical: Burn injuries and their effects can be permanent. A victim may lose mobility and/or function in parts of their body or need reconstructive surgery depending on the severity of their burns.
• Emotional: As victims deal with the physical pain and permanent effects of fire burns, they and their loved ones can experience depression, anxiety and hopelessness as they learn to cope with a life affected by catastrophic injuries.
