Severe Burn Injuries

Middle Tennessee Burn Injury Lawyers

Many aspects of extensive burn injuries present serious challenges for the victim--the lengthy treatment period for third-degree burns, the social isolation of intensive care immediately after the injury and during convalescence from surgery, and the prospect of severe scarring and disfigurement. Perhaps above all, the agonizing pain and extreme discomfort that characterize burn injuries and burn treatment represent an especially hard reality for the survivors of fires, explosions, or chemical burns.

If you need legal advice about your options for recovering the compensation necessary to support a lengthy period of treatment and convalescence from serious burn injuries, contact the Nashville personal injury attorneys at Hollins, Wagster, Weatherly & Raybin, P.C. Our AV-rated* lawyers not only do everything possible to maximize the total compensation you recover for your claims of negligence, but also to support you and your family during the recovery period. We limit our caseload so that we can devote the time necessary to give every client all the time and attention you need.

From the perspective of a personal injury attorney, the proof of damages in burn injury cases can be challenging because of the lengthy time periods involved in determining the victim's needs for future treatment, surgery, rehabilitation, and home assistance services. It can be tempting to accept a very substantial early settlement offer, only to discover later that the damages recovered are insufficient to meet the full extent of the victim's losses and treatment needs.

Each of the members of our firm who practices in personal injury has at least 20 years of experience with the evaluation and proof of damages in serious injury cases. By working closely with treating physicians, medical and rehabilitation experts, and economists, we can protect you from the risk of an inadequate settlement or incomplete damages at trial.

Whether your burn injuries were suffered in a motor vehicle accident, in a house fire, or at work, our lawyers can help you recover the financial compensation that you'll need to support your physical and psychological recovery.
