Examples of Accidents Resulting in Burns
Our Personal Injury Lawyer San Jose has helped people recover compensation for their injuries, including payment for medical, rehab and therapy expenses; lost past and future wages and lost earning capacity; and pain and suffering. Our clients have included people injured in accidents such as:
- House fires

- Petroleum product explosions
- Domestic accidents such as exploding pressure cookers, malfunctioning hot water valves, burning from an improperly wired hair dryer and other defective or dangerous home electrical products

Why Burn Victims Need Compensation
Whether the accident was caused by a leaking propane tank, a burning cigarette or a defective product, our lawyer can help. We have obtained compensation for people who suffered third-degree burns over much of their body and spent many months in burn units. They have endured reconstructive plastic surgery, skin replacement and surgical debridement. They have lived with the ever-present danger of infection, the psychological damage of facial scarring, and the need to be attentive to sun and other environmental damage. They have struggled to cope with multiple surgeries and other medical procedures.
Compensatory and Punitive Damages
When negligence or misconduct is the cause of suffering such as this, we are able to help clients obtain compensation for the past and ongoing expenses, which can be considerable. If the accident that caused the injury was the result of criminal behavior, we may be able to obtain punitive damages in addition to those intended to compensate for the losses and costs.

For Monetary Compensation After a Broken Bone Injury

There are often pieces of good news about a bone fracture:
- It is not usually life-threatening.
- It will usually heal with time.
- It does not lead to lingering mental deficits as a head injury does.
- In the grand scheme of things, it is generally “fixable” compared to more serious injuries.
The bad news associated with a broken bone, however, can overwhelm a victim and the victim’s family, both short term and long term:
- Emergency medical treatment and follow-up care is expensive, painful and time-consuming for the victim and family members.
- Pain management can have its own complications, including the possibility that a patient will develop a dependency on painkillers.
- The injured person is likely to be temporarily disabled and immobilized for a lengthy period of time.
- The injured person will most likely not be able to work for some time — and even if so, he or she may have diminished capabilities for days, weeks or months.
- Complications leading to ongoing chronic pain (such as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy [RSD]/Complex Regional Pain Syndrome [CRIPS] (or arachnoiditis) may be a side effect of the bone fracture.
- Determining who is responsible to pay for the injury is often a challenge.
- Insurance companies and medical providers may flood the patient with obstacles, including mountains of complicated paperwork and documentation requirements.
In addition to requiring the best medical care you can find, you most likely also need legal advice and representation to assist in your recovery. If you or a family member has suffered a bone fracture as a result of a car and truck accident, a slip and fall accident, a workplace accident or an airplane crash, you will be wise to talk to a San Jose area broken bone injury lawyer sooner rather than later. An Injury Lawyer San Jose with years of experience can help you cut through the red tape and find the relief that you seek after you have broken a bone in a traffic accident or any type of fall.
