Commonly Asked Questions

What types of compensation can I receive for my burn injury?

You may be eligible to receive compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages related to your burn injury.

How long do I have to file a burn injury claim in Wichita, KS?

In most cases, you have two years from the date of your burn injury to file a claim. However, it is important to consult with a burn injury attorney as soon as possible to ensure that you meet all legal deadlines.

What should I do if I am contacted by the other party's insurance company?

You should not speak to the other party's insurance company without first consulting with a burn injury attorney. Insurance companies are known to use tactics to try to minimize or deny compensation, and an attorney can protect your rights and negotiate on your behalf.

How can a burn injury attorney help me with my case?

A burn injury attorney can investigate the circumstances of your burn injury, gather evidence to support your claim, negotiate with insurance companies and other parties, and represent you in court if necessary. They can also provide guidance and support throughout the legal process.

Common Causes of Burn Injuries

Any accident that exposes a person to fire, electricity, or extreme heat can result in burn injuries. Burns are catastrophic injuries that can be excruciatingly painful, requiring numerous skin grafts and corrective surgeries to be treated.

In most cases, burns can result in permanent scarring and disfigurement, causing lifelong debilitation and a reduced quality of life. In addition to the physical effects, accidents resulting in burns can cause intense psychological distress and require a person to undergo extensive therapy.

Burn injuries can result from the following:

  • Building fires
  • Construction accidents
  • Electrical shocks
  • Auto collisions
  • Natural gas explosions
  • Caustic chemical exposure
  • Scalding hot liquids

Burns are classified into different subcategories depending on their severity. While first-degree burns cause mild discomfort and a reddening of the skin, third-degree burns involve severe tissue damage and can cause permanent nerve damage. In most cases, burn injuries are the result of another party’s negligent actions.
