Common Causes of Burn Injuries

Understanding the root cause of burn injuries is critical in pursuing a legal claim. Our attorneys will conduct a thorough investigation to pinpoint liability and hold the responsible parties accountable. 

Causes of burn injuries can include:

  • Fires
  • Chemical exposure
  • Electrical accidents 
  • Defective products
  • Workplace accidents
  • Motor vehicle accidents

Contextually, the growing urbanization of areas like Phoenix also contributes to an increased risk of burn injuries linked to construction accidents or infrastructure failures. Our team's proactive approach involves staying abreast with changes in the city and laws to pursue compensation that encompasses physical recovery and the emotional consequences of burn injuries.

What Are the Four Degrees of Burns?

Burns are categorized into four categories to determine how deep and severe a burn injury is. Understanding these levels helps medical professionals determine the appropriate treatment and the potential for long-term complications.

Degrees of burns include:

  • First-degree burns (superficial): These types of burns only damage the top layer of skin (epidermis) and can be treated at home.
  • Second-degree burns (partial-thickness): Second-degree burns damage the two outer layers of skin. The burned spot can be blistered, have texture changes, and be painful.
  • Third-degree burns (full-thickness burns): These types of burns go through all layers of the skin. There is no pain because nerve endings are destroyed. 
  • Fourth-degree burns: These are the most severe types of burns where muscles, nerves, bones, and other deep tissues can be damaged.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Steps Should I Take After a Burn Injury in Phoenix?

First, seek immediate medical attention to address your injuries and avoid further complications. Then, document the scene where the incident occurred by taking photos and noting any hazardous conditions or contributing factors. If there were any witnesses, be sure to collect their contact information, and if others were involved (such as in a car accident), exchange insurance and contact details. It's also essential to report the incident to the appropriate authority, such as the police, a property manager, or a workplace supervisor, depending on where the injury happened. Finally, contact an experienced burn injury lawyer in Phoenix. 

Additionally, follow your medical provider's guidance carefully and keep detailed records of all medical visits and treatments received. This documentation is crucial in establishing the extent of your injuries and the impact on your life, both of which are essential in calculating fair compensation. 

What Types of Compensation Can I Receive for a Burn Injury?

Compensation for burn injuries can include medical expenses, future medical expenses, lost wages, lost earning capacity, and pain and suffering. The severity of the injury, impact on your lifestyle, and any long-term effects play significant roles in determining compensation. Our team will evaluate all factors to determine the types of compensation you're entitled to and pursue them. 

Are There Time Limits for Filing a Burn Injury Claim in Arizona?

Yes, Arizona law has specific time limits, known as statutes of limitations, for filing personal injury claims. In most cases, you have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. Consulting with a knowledgeable Phoenix burn injury attorney promptly is crucial to preserving your legal rights. Delaying action can result in vital evidence being lost or memories fading, both of which can weaken the potential strength of your claim.

Our FAQs

  • The moment you get into a crash with another driver, that motorist’s auto insurance company will start building a case against you—whether you were at fault for the crash or not. Even your own insurance company may try to get you to accept a quick settlement to protect their bottom line. In many cases, especially those involving serious and/or debilitating injuries, the only way to ensure you receive fair and just compensation that will cover all your accident-related expenses is to have an attorney on your side.
  • In the state of Arizona, you must be able to prove four elements of negligence in order to have a wrongful death claim: that the defendant owed the victim a duty of care, the defendant breached this duty, the breach contributed to the wrongful death, and the death caused compensable damages that the surviving family members are now seeking to be compensated for.
  • Whether or not your case goes to trial depends on numerous factors that are unique to each specific case, such as how cooperative the defendant is, how effective your own lawyer is, and so on. However, the vast majority of personal injury claims—roughly 90%—settle before trial. While this means your case likely won’t make it all the way to court, such matters cannot be determined in advance.
