Being burned in an accident can have many negative ramifications for you. You could be struggling with physical pain; your mobility could be limited; your injury could be permanent; your burn injury could affect your mental health and life happiness. When a person other than yourself caused this injury, you have the right to pursue them for payment of your damages.
You could be faced with crippling medical expenses and an inability to work, which could result in lost income for you. You could also be dealing with costs of physical therapy and mental health treatment.
You deserve to receive a full settlement to pay for all that you’ve been through and to bring the negligent person to justice. A Phoenix burn injury lawyer at our firm can help.
Burn injuries are caused by your body’s contact with some type of heat source. For instance, your body could come into contact with fire. If someone caused the fire that burned you, they can be held liable for your injuries. For instance, if shoddy electrical wiring on the part of an electrician led to a house fire, you could sue the electrician for the burn injuries you suffered.
There are many different types of heat sources and many different types of people or organizations could be liable for your injuries. Here are a few common causes of burns:
One of the duties your Phoenix burn accident attorney has is to fight for your right to compensation. You didn’t cause the accident that resulted in a burn injury, so you shouldn’t be expected to pay for your losses.

Economic Damages (Financial Losses) | Non-Economic Damages (Non-Financial Losses) |
Hospital bills and outpatient doctor bills | Physical pain and suffering |
Physical therapy expenses | Mental anguish |
Medication costs and co-pays | Loss of life enjoyment |
Lost income and lost future income | Permanent injury |
Property damage | Scarring or disfigurement |
Caregiving costs | Self-esteem issues |
Mental health treatment expenses |
We don’t need to tell you how serious burn injuries can be. You are probably dealing with intense physical pain, scarring, disfigurement, and mental trauma. You could even be suffering from mobility issues, and your injuries could be permanent. The person who caused you to suffer in this way should be held to account for your suffering.
