What is a Burn Injury?

A burn injury occurs when the skin or underlying tissues are damaged by heat, chemicals, electricity, radiation, or friction. Burns can vary in severity, from minor first-degree burns that heal quickly to life-threatening third- or fourth-degree burns that penetrate deep into muscles and bones. No matter the degree, burn injuries can cause significant pain and discomfort, requiring extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.

At Kemmy Law Firm, P.C., we understand the complexities involved in burn injury cases. Our team works tirelessly to ensure that victims receive the compensation they need to recover and rebuild their lives.

Common Types of Burn Injuries

Burn injuries can result from a wide range of circumstances. Some of the most common types of burns include:

  • Thermal Burns: Caused by direct contact with hot surfaces, liquids, or flames, such as in house fires, car accidents, or workplace incidents.
  • Chemical Burns: Result from exposure to hazardous chemicals, often occurring in industrial or laboratory settings.
  • Electrical Burns: Occur when an individual comes into contact with live electrical currents, which can cause internal and external injuries.
  • Friction Burns: Caused by the skin rubbing against a rough surface, commonly seen in motorcycle or bicycle accidents.
  • Radiation Burns: Result from exposure to harmful radiation, including UV rays from the sun or medical treatments like radiation therapy.

Long-Term Effects of Burn Injuries

The consequences of burn injuries often extend far beyond the initial physical pain. Victims may face:

  • Physical Scarring and Disfigurement: Severe burns can leave permanent scars or alter a person’s physical appearance.
  • Chronic Pain: Nerve damage and ongoing sensitivity can result in persistent pain.
  • Limited Mobility: Burns near joints or muscles may lead to reduced range of motion and long-term disability.
  • Emotional and Psychological Trauma: Many burn survivors experience depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
  • High Medical Costs: Ongoing treatments, including surgeries, skin grafts, physical therapy, and counseling, can create a significant financial burden.

At Kemmy Law Firm, P.C., we fight for compensation that accounts for all these long-term impacts, ensuring that our clients can focus on healing without the added stress of financial strain.

Who is Liable for a Burn Injury?

Determining liability in burn injury cases often requires a thorough investigation. Common liable parties include:

  • Property Owners: If unsafe conditions or building code violations caused the burn injury.
  • Employers: In cases of workplace burns, especially when safety protocols were ignored or equipment was faulty.
  • Manufacturers: If defective products or machinery led to the burn injury.
  • Other Drivers: In cases where vehicle accidents caused fires or burns.

Our experienced team will gather evidence, consult with experts, and build a strong case to identify and hold the responsible parties accountable.

  • ¿Necesito un abogado de lesiones personales en Hobbs?

    Aunque algunos casos de lesiones personales se pueden resolver fuera de los tribunales, otros casos requieren una representación experimentada para lograr un acuerdo justo. Si usted o un ser querido ha resultado herido por la negligencia de otra persona, consultar con un abogado de lesiones personales de confianza en Hobbs es primordial para proteger sus derechos y buscar la compensación que se merece.

  • ¿Puedo recibir una compensación si soy parcialmente culpable del accidente?

    Depende. Nuevo México sigue la regla de negligencia comparativa pura, lo que significa que siempre que la víctima tenga menos del 100% de la culpa en un accidente, podrá reclamar daños y perjuicios en un caso de lesiones personales. Esto difiere de la negligencia comparativa modificada, que impide a los demandantes buscar una compensación si tienen más de cierto porcentaje de culpa. Por ejemplo, supongamos que el tribunal lo encuentra culpable en un 25% por un accidente de auto con un total de $100.000 en daños. Bajo la regla de negligencia comparativa pura de Nuevo México, esta cantidad se reduciría por su porcentaje de la culpa ($25.000), dejándolo con $75.000 en compensación.

  • ¿Tengo que aceptar la primera oferta de la compañía de seguros?

    En la gran mayoría de los casos, es mejor evitar aceptar la primera oferta de la compañía de seguros. Esto se debe a que la oferta inicial suele ser un acuerdo bajo que no cubrirá completamente sus pérdidas y gastos futuros. Contar con representación legal de confianza es fundamental para garantizar que reciba una compensación justa y rehacer su vida después de una lesión injusta. Nuestros abogados pueden evaluar su caso para identificar a las partes responsables, calcular con precisión los daños sufridos y recibir la máxima compensación posible.
