Burn Injuries
Help After a Serious Burn Injury
A burn injury may leave a victim with permanent scarring, the longest-lasting and most visible reminders of his or her horrific accident. Not only will a burn victim deal with scarring and disfigurement, he or she may lose sensation and feeling due to nerve damage. Burn victims often must deal with severe emotional and psychological trauma as well.
At Gary Martin Hays & Associates, we work compassionately and supportively with burn victims and their families, with the goal of getting them the full and fair compensation they need and deserve. When other people's negligence or mistakes cause a severe burn injury, we can help the victim hold those people accountable for their actions.
For a free consultation with a caring lawyer who understands the effects of a severe burn injury, contact our law firm. We stand ready to help ensure that you will not have to settle for less than what is needed for a full recovery.
Causes of Burn Injuries
A burn injury can result from an electrical fire, explosion, chemical spill or motor vehicle accident. Our attorneys have handled burn injury cases of all kinds:

The negligence, neglect and mistake of another person can have catastrophic effects for the victim. Whether the accident involved a gas tank that exploded in a collision or electrical shock on a work site, the resulting burn injury often leads to permanent scarring, loss of vision, nerve damage, and disfigurement, as well as a need for future treatments, counseling and accommodations:
- Numerous skin grafts to repair the damaged area
- Treatment for serious infections, which may result in amputation
- Professional counseling for depression and emotional trauma
- Rehabilitation and physical therapy
- Home accommodations
- Skilled nursing care or attendant care
