Nevada Burn Injury Lawyer

Many burn victims and those in the medical industry describe burn injuries as one of the most painful injuries a person can sustain. Second, third, and fourth degree burns oftentimes inflict lifelong damage upon burn victims. According to the Journal of Burn Care and Rehabilitation, millions of Americans suffer burn injuries each year and between 8,000 to 12,000 people die from burn related injuries. In the United States, burn injuries are the second-leading cause of accidental death.

Burns are assessed in two different ways: 1. by thickness or degree; and 2. by Total Body Surface Area (TBSA). However, burn injuries also consist of a greater complexity. A burn injury may affect other functions such as muscles, bones, nerves, and blood vessels. Lasting psychological and emotion effects may be a devastating result for someone who has suffered a traumatic burn.

A number of different sources may be the cause for a burn injury. Thermal, chemical, electrical, light, and radiation may all serve as sources for a serious burn. Burns can come from severe hot and cold temperatures as well as from everyday sources such as hot water, electrical outlets, or even sunlight. Defective products, defective premises, fires resulting from negligence, car accidents, negligent handling of chemicals, and faulty wiring may all provide sources for potentially fatal burn injuries. A burn victim may suffer lifelong effects far beyond the initial injury, including complicated recovery periods, visible scars, emotional suffering and other negative fallout. Parker Scheer Lagomarsino lawyers have won settlements and verdicts for dozens of burn victims, compensating them for their burn injuries and consequent complications.
