Burn Injury Cases in Seattle

Help for Seattle Victims of Severe Burns

There are many different types of situations that may cause a person to sustain a burn injury. When a severe burn is caused as the result of another person's conduct, intentional or accidental, this may be grounds for a personal injury claim or lawsuit. When you consider the fact that a burn injury may not only cause a great deal of physical pain but may also result in high medical bills and may cause the victim to lose money due to missed work, it is important to weigh your options in taking legal action.

A dedicated lawyer can help a victim with an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit against the party responsible for causing the injuries, whether this is an individual or a business. This legal action is taken in civil court. Most of these claims settle outside of the courtroom, meaning the parties involved come to an agreement on their own without a verdict by the court necessary.

In some cases, however, the case will go to trial and a jury will reach a verdict either against or in the victim's favor. The penalties enforced in civil court are monetary in nature. The court may award the victim financial compensation for the burn injury he or she has sustained, and this may include money that will pay for medical bills, medical supplies, plastic surgery, hospitalization, future or continued medical care, lost earnings from missed work, emotional trauma, pain and suffering and psychological damages. This money cannot take back what has occurred, but it can help a victim begin rebuilding his or her life.
