Burns are among the most devasting harm a person can suffer, causing both permanent physical injury and horrible mental suffering. There are many ways one can be burned: Thermal burns, such as fire and scalding from hot water or other hot liquids; electrical burns from contact with high voltage electrical lines; and chemical burns from acids and caustic products that come into contact with a person's skin, in industrial settings and in homes.
The skin is a large and critically important organ. If enough of a person's skin is destroyed in a car fire, structure fire, electrical burn, or any of the many ways skin can be damaged, the injury can result in death, and if a person survives a serious burn, they may be disfigured for life, and have extensive scarring that causes problems that make everyday existence very difficult.
When someone sustains serious burns in an accident, it is important to have knowledgeable legal representation. This is especially important as many burn victims have continuing need for medical treatment going on for years. Torem & Associates attorneys have successfully recovered compensation for burn victims and have worked with doctors to explore the need for future care and to maximize recovery on behalf of clients.
