San Jose Burn Injury Attorney - Burn Settlements
Contact the Law Offices of Jack Bloxham for the advice of an experienced attorney in the litigation and trial of burn injury cases. Our experience with these painful and devastating injuries, whether caused by fire, electrical shock, or explosion, can make a significant difference to your ability to overcome the challenges and expenses involved in the long and difficult recovery from burn injuries.
We understand that severe burn injuries are among the most painful of all injuries with the longest recuperation and rehabilitation periods. Treatment often includes debridement and skin grafting. The most traumatic burn cases can result in permanent scarring and the loss of facial features and other body parts such as fingers and toes. Severe burn damage and scars might require two years of maturing before cosmetic restoration can be undertaken. For children, the sequence of necessary surgeries might require ten years or longer.
Car and truck fires resulting from motor vehicle accidents are typical accidents that result in severe burn injuries and subsequent scarring. Because of their location, facial scars, neck scars, nose scars and eyelid scars can present serious complications and require extra medical attention. Thin skin on the face and the close proximity to sensitive areas such as eyes, ears and the nasal passage can make treatment difficult.
Cosmetically, even moderate facial scarring can have a significant impact on a person's self-esteem and emotional well-being, and lead to social isolation. Consequently, psychological support and treatment is usually an indispensable element of a severe burn victim's treatment and recovery.
Our experience with the settlement of severe burn injury cases can give you a distinct advantage. We know how long and complicated the recovery period is, and also understand that an accurate projection of damages might not be available until long after the victim is released from the hospital intensive care unit (ICU). We take all of these considerations into account in developing and evaluating burn settlement offers.
