ORANGE COUNTY BURN INJURY LAWYER

Aggressive representation for burn injury victims in California

The effects of a severe burn injury can be both physically and emotionally devastating due to the disfiguring of the skin. Even with today’s medical advances in wound treatment, therapy, and plastic surgery, a burn injury victim often gets left with permanent physical and emotional scarring. Although it can be a traumatic experience to survive a residential fire, chemical explosion, gas leak, electrical burn, or natural fire, there is help available to assist you in the recovery process. The Orange County Burn Injury Lawyers of Gracia & Phan offer support, legal assistance, and professionalism for you and your family to depend upon in your time of need.

Some of the most commonly asked Burn Injury questions:

First degree burns

These are often the least serious, as they only damage the very top layer of skin. First-degree burns can usually be treated at home.

Second degree burns

Second degree burns damage both the top layer of skin and the layer underneath. They are more serious and may require medical attention. Second degree burns often present with blisters and can leave scars.

Third degree burns

These are the most serious, as they damage the deepest layers of skin and tissue. Third degree burns can lead to nerve damage and may require skin grafts.

WHAT TO DO AFTER SUFFERING A BAD BURN INJURY IN CALIFORNIA

A minor burn injury may not be a reason to file a claim against a defendant, even if someone else caused the burns. Minor damage with small medical bills may not be enough to make the time, money, and effort of a claim worthwhile. If you suffered serious or catastrophic burns, however, filing a claim could be the best way to obtain compensation for your major losses. Taking the correct steps after suffering a burn injury may be imperative in your case.

  • Document your accident:
    Write down what happened and take photographs, if possible. If a product exploded in use, for example, document how you were using it and where you purchased the product.
  • Go to the hospital:
    Bad burns require immediate medical attention. Even a first-degree burn requires medical care if it is larger than four inches long or in a sensitive place, such as the face or hands.
  • Speak to a lawyer:
    Contacting a burn injury attorney from your home or the hospital can connect you to professionals who can guide you through the next steps. A personal burn injury law firm can investigate your accident for signs of negligence to identify the defendant.

How are burn injuries caused?

According to the American Burn Association, about 3,400 people die each year from fires, burns or smoke inhalation, and about 40,000 people in the U.S. are hospitalized every year for burn-related injuries.

Some of the most common causes of burn injuries include:

  • HOUSE FIRES
  • ELECTRICAL FIRES
  • VEHICLE FIRES
  • CHEMICAL EXPOSURE
  • RADIATION EXPOSURE
  • DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS
  • GRILLS AND BARBEQUES
  • SPACE HEATERS
  • FIREWORKS
  • WORKSITE ACCIDENTS
  • SCALDING DRINKS/HIGH-TEMPERATURE FOODS

Degrees of burns

Signs and symptoms of a burn injury vary based on the degree of the burn. The most common signs of a burn injury include swelling, blistering and scarring. In the worst cases, death can result. Burn injuries also commonly lead to infections because of the damage done to the top protective layers of skin.

Just as signs and symptoms vary based on the degree of the burn, so too, do treatment options for varying types of burns. For mild burns, over-the-counter creams can be used to treat any pain, swelling and potential infections. For more severe burns, cleaning and skin grafting may be required. These can be lengthy, painful and expensive processes.

My attorney was Mr. Juan, and he was nothing short of amazing. He called me and kept me in the loop of everything so I would always know what was going on with my case. And for the things I didn’t understand, he made sure she put it into terms where I could. I would definitely recommend them & their services.

I got in a car accident and sustained pretty serious injuries. My family thought it would be wise to get me a lawyer, and I was assigned to Mr. Robert. It was my first experience with this, and they were able to get me a good sum after all my medical bills were paid. So I’m satisfied and would recommend them.

They took care of me and contacted me directly, which is much better than what other lawyers did, and they ensured I was taken care of. I feel like Mr. Robert really fought for me, and he or his paralegal was always available whenever I had questions or whenever I didn't understand something.
