San Antonio Burn Injury Lawyer

San Antonio, TX Attorney Michael Grossman Discusses Burn Injuries

Burn injuries are possibly the most painful type of injury that a person can experience. In addition to the intense pain associated with these injuries, medical costs are also much higher than typical injuries.

This creates two broad problems for people seeking compensation for a burn injury: their insurance policy likely does not cover the full extent of their medical expenses, and they are not rewarded enough compensation for the intense pain and suffering they have endured. But experienced San Antonio burn injury attorney Michael Grossman from Grossman Law Offices knows how to build a strong burn injury case, and he will do everything within his power to make sure that you receive the compensation you deserve if you have suffered a burn injury.

Lack of Adequate Insurance Coverage

Most burn injuries occur in one of two places: the victim’s car or the victim’s home. This means that the medical expenses associated with the injury will likely fall under the victim’s homeowners insurance or auto insurance. However, most people do not have home and auto policies large enough to cover the medical costs associated with burn injuries. Even relatively minor burn injuries can cost tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars to treat. Burn treatment is a specialized process, often involving skin grafts, and there is a large amount of supplementary treatment, such as infection prevention. When our firm takes a case, our legal professionals make sure to fully investigate your case and uncover the full extent of the medical costs associated with your injury. We know how expensive these injuries can be, and we are dedicated to making sure that you receive the compensation you need to pay for your treatment.

Inadequate Compensation for Physical Pain and Suffering

Unfortunately for burn injury victims, Texas law does not provide a minimum amount of compensation for pain and suffering in burn injury cases. This is why you need an experienced attorney who can help you receive the compensation you deserve. A personal injury attorney performs many services for his or her client, but one of the most important in burn injury cases is convincing a jury how severe burn injuries really are, and how much pain burn injury victims typically experience. Michael Grossman knows how to speak the jury’s language. He does not simply say burn injuries are a “ten on the pain scale.” He employs visual aids and comprehensive descriptions to give juries a full picture of the type of pain burn injury victims have to endure. He works hard to make sure that juries understand what you are going through so that they can give you the full amount of compensation you are owed.

Damages in Burn Injury Cases

As mentioned, our experienced attorneys can help you receive compensation for your medical expenses in addition to your physical pain and suffering. However, there are many damages in a personal injury case, including:

• Lost wages from time spent in the hospital
• Lost earning capacity caused by the accident
• Mental or emotional turmoil
• Disfigurement

Our legal professionals can help you determine the full extent of your damages, and we will fight aggressively to help you receive the compensation you need.

Disfigurement and Mental Anguish

Most injuries heal, leaving the victim in much the same condition they were in prior to the injury. Burn injuries, however, are unique in that they often leave a victim permanently scarred. This type of scarring affects everyone differently. Some people are not bothered by it, while others can be completely traumatized. Small children in particularly can suffer mental anxiety over disfigurement for decades.

Most victims of burn injuries experience some sort of mental anguish due to disfigurement. Victims who suffer long-term disfigurement may suffer from depression and anxiety. This depression often results in years of costly therapy just so victims can get their life back in order. Our attorneys are dedicated to making sure you are compensated for these expenses in addition to the more immediate medical expenses. Burn injuries are traumatic, and you deserve the money necessary to deal with the full ramifications of these injuries.

Long-term Impairment

Burn injuries often cause long-term damage to a victim’s tissue and nerves, which can prohibit victims from performing daily activities or continuing their job. In these situations, you need an attorney who can compensate you for your lost earning capacity and the impairment itself. These damages are complex, but our attorneys know how to estimate the monetary value of these damages and make sure that you are fully compensated.
