Burns

Louisville Burn Injury Lawyer

Personal Injury Form

Serious burn injuries occur in a variety of situations, including car accidents, construction and industrial accidents, explosions, and house fires. Most burn injury victims spend time in a level 4 trauma center (designed to provide stabilization and treatment of severely injured patients) immediately following an accident. From a legal and financial standpoint, the sooner an attorney is brought in on the case, the better.

The Goal: Top-Notch Care and a Favorable Recovery for the Victim

Our job, our goal, and our mission as burn injury attorneys is to ensure that our clients receive the best quality care, and the maximum available compensation.

Infection Control • Skin Grafts • Prevention of Scarring and Disfigurement

The quality of care for a burn injury victim -- both initially and over time -- is critical to survival and a good recovery. Aside from pain control, a burn injury victim must be closely watched for any sign of infection. Another important consideration is prevention or correction of scarring and disfigurement. Skin grafts may be necessary to repair a seriously burned part of the body.

Addressing the Psychological Pain as well as the Physical Challenges of a Burn Injury

Particularly for women and children, the psychological and cosmetic aspects of a burn injury are nearly as important as pathological concerns such as the risk of infection. Disfigurement can lead to long-term social isolation, depression, and lower self esteem --- all of which translate to greatly limited prospects for socialization in school, career, and friendships. For this reason, prompt attention to high-quality plastic surgery together with psychological counseling is critical for a long-term positive outcome.
