The Effects of Burn Injuries

Any type of injury can cause immense pain, but burn injuries cause more than physical suffering—they are capable of causing psychological trauma as well. One of the greatest concerns with burns is the risk of infection. The skin is the body’s first line of defense against microorganisms so when a burn breaks the skin, the risk of infection increases. Burns can also result in significant disfigurement, which can be devastating both physically and emotionally.

Whether you were burned in an auto accident, at work, or on another person's property, our North Carolina burn injury lawyers are prepared to relentlessly pursue damages on your behalf.

Depending on the specific circumstances involved in your case, you may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical expenses
• Lost income/wages
• Disability
• Disfigurement
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Property damage

If your loved one died as a result of his or her burn injuries, you may be entitled to pursue a wrongful death claim. Our attorneys understand the sensitive and devastating nature of these cases; we can walk you through all your legal options and fight tirelessly for you.
