Few injuries are as traumatic, painful, or have as long lasting an impact as burns. When you have suffered an injury like this, not only are you dealing with immediate pain and trauma, but also long-lasting disability, disfigurement and scarring.

It’s important to speak with an experienced Los Angeles attorney to explore all possible sources of compensation in your case, which may alleviate some of the financial hardships facing you and your family. If you have suffered a burn injury, discuss your claim with a Los Angeles burn injury lawyer at Effres and Associates today.

Common Burn Injury Types and Causes

A person may suffer different types of burn injuries.

These are some of the more common types of burn injuries:

  • Burn injuries in a fire
  • Chemical burns
  • Scalding burns
  • Thermal burns
  • Radiation burns
  • Electrical burns

Categories of Burn Injuries

Burn injuries may be divided into first, second and third degree burns, depending on the type of damage that has occurred to the skin and tissue. In a first degree burn, the first layer of the skin is damaged. In a second degree burn, there is much deeper penetration of the skin, and deeper skin layers may be damaged. Third degree burns are the most serious type of burn injuries, and can include layers of skin and tissue under the skin.

Long-Term Effects: Scarring and Disability from Burns

Not only does a burn injury victim suffer extreme pain and trauma, but she may also expect to suffer disfigurement or scarring after the injury. Even when the burn injuries have healed, there may be scarring that leaves the skin with a bumpy appearance. Even cosmetic surgery may never completely restore the person’s appearance.

Legal Support for Burn Injury Victims

There are economic consequences of burn injuries. If your burns are on a noticeable part of the body, it may impact your ability to get a job, especially certain types of industries, such as marketing, public relations, media and other industries in which personal appearances are at a premium.

Your claim for compensation may include not only the short-term economic losses from your injuries, but also the long-term losses because of your lost income earning potential.

  • "I will most certainly come to you if & when I need an attorney."
    Dear Mr. Effres, I would like to express my deep appreciation for assisting me when I called you regarding the problem I had with a dental group I had been going to. Unfortunately my only solution will be small claims court. Here is a case where the dentist said he was qualified to do root canals and missed the canal and went into my gum even though he took 3 x-rays during the procedure, and very casually said, “sometimes things like this will happen.” I wish to thank you again for your advice and you can be assured I will most certainly come to you if & when I need an attorney. Your thoughtfulness meant a lot! by H. M.

  • "I really feel like it's his reputation as a trial lawyer that got us the deal."
    Two attorney firms dropped us before the 2 year deadline and we were panicking. My husband was badly hurt when a truck backed into him as he was walking by. Justin took us in and we really felt like we had someone on our side. I really feel like it's his reputation as a trial lawyer that got us the deal. I would absolutely recommend him!

  • "So pleased to win the case, through your legal expertise."
    Dear Mr. Effres, Please allow us to make your acquaintance. We are writing at the urging of Mr. Gusa, who shared with us the lovely history behind our receiving a beautiful six-passenger golf cart. As you know, he is a fine man and he was so pleased to win the case, through your legal expertise, so as to provide us with this unexpected gift. We would never have conceived of having such a large golf cart. Now that we have it, we are discovering how very valuable it is for being able to take a group of our distinguished guests all together on a tour around the monastery grounds. Perhaps one day circumstances will be such that you find yourself in Arizona. If so, we would be pleased to invite you on a tour of the monastery! With best regards by X. N.
