Burn injuries are among the most painful and devastating injuries a person can suffer. Beyond the immediate physical harm, victims often endure long-term complications such as scarring, disfigurement, nerve damage, and emotional trauma. The costs of medical treatment, rehabilitation, and lost wages can overwhelm families. When these injuries occur because of another party’s negligence, victims have the right to pursue justice and compensation.
At Moore Payne Law, Attorneys Geoff Moore and Spencer Payne provide compassionate yet fierce representation for burn injury victims across Florida. They understand the unique challenges these cases present and work tirelessly to hold negligent individuals, businesses, and institutions accountable.
Common Causes of Burn Injuries
Burn injuries can occur in a variety of ways, often due to unsafe conditions or reckless behavior. Some common causes include:
- Workplace Accidents – Exposure to chemicals, faulty electrical wiring, or industrial fires.
- Motor Vehicle Collisions – Gasoline leaks, engine fires, and explosions after crashes.
- Defective Products – Malfunctioning appliances, electronics, or flammable consumer goods.
- Medical Negligence – Surgical burns, radiation burns, or improper use of medical equipment.
- Premises Liability – Fires caused by poor maintenance, unsafe wiring, or lack of fire safety measures in residential or commercial buildings.
Identifying the cause is critical for determining liability and ensuring that responsible parties are held accountable.
The Severity of Burn Injuries
Burns are classified into degrees based on severity:
- First-Degree Burns affect only the outer layer of skin and usually heal without major medical intervention.
- Second-Degree Burns penetrate deeper layers, causing blistering, severe pain, and scarring.
- Third-Degree Burns destroy skin, nerves, and tissue, often requiring skin grafts and long-term medical care.
- Fourth-Degree Burns are life-threatening, damaging muscles, tendons, and bones.
The higher the degree, the more intensive and costly the treatment. Victims may face months or years of recovery, and in severe cases, permanent disability.
Compensation for Burn Injury Victims
Burn injury victims may be entitled to recover damages such as:
- Medical expenses, including surgeries, skin grafts, and ongoing care
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering, including emotional distress and trauma
- Costs for rehabilitation, counseling, and reconstructive surgery
- Compensation for permanent disfigurement or disability
Every case is unique, and the value of a claim depends on the extent of the injuries and the impact on the victim’s life.
