One thing the Chicago burn injury lawyers at TORKLAW know is that these can be the most painful injuries of all. Often times, there’s no way to treat these injuries. There is not much a doctor can do other than give their patients something for the pain. These burns often take time to heal. That’s why our clients need us. We focus on the legal side of things. That way, our clients can focus on getting better. After all, the most important thing is your health.
What we do is make sure your case is handled properly from the start. Depending on what caused your burn injuries, you may have a claim for damages. If someone else caused your burns, then you need to file a claim against their insurance company. Ideally, the insurance company will pay your claim. If they don’t, our Chicago burn injury lawyers will try to negotiate a settlement with the insurance adjustor. If that doesn’t work, we’ll have no choice but to file a lawsuit on your behalf.
The only way to know for sure whether you have a claim or not is to talk to a Chicago burn injury lawyer at TORKLAW. You can schedule a free consultation and sit down with someone who has handled cases like yours before. Our team has decades of combined experience handling burn injury cases. We’ll do our best to make sure you and your family get the justice and compensation you deserve.
MOST COMMON CAUSES OF BURN INJURIES
More often than not, burn injuries are caused by some sort of accident. Of course, there are times when you suffer your injuries due to a house fire. But there are a lot of other things that can cause your burns. Our Chicago burn injury lawyers see a lot of burn injury cases. Some of these involve:
- Car accidents
- House and electrical fires
- Chemical spills and explosions
- Workplace accidents
- Gas and oil accidents
- Child burns such as scalding or an incident at their daycare or school
Regardless of what caused your injuries, if it was due to someone’s negligence, then you may be entitled to damages. Of course, your Chicago burn injury lawyer at TORKLAW needs to be able to prove your case. This requires two things. First, they need to prove that the defendant was at fault. Second, they need to demonstrate that you actually suffered damages. This isn’t all that hard when you suffer third- or fourth-degree burns.
COMPENSATION YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO
Depending on your injuries, you may be entitled to certain damages. This may include any or all of the following:
- Medical bills
- Future medical bills
- Pain and suffering
- Lost wages
- Lost future income
- Permanent disability
Every case is unique so there’s no way to know for sure what your case is worth. That is something you can discuss with your Chicago burn injury lawyer at TORKLAW.
