Am I Eligible to Pursue Financial Compensation?

Burn injury cases are difficult to handle without having legal representation on your side. During a free consultation, we are prepared to help determine if you are eligible to pursue compensation. To have a valid case, the following four elements of negligence must be proven:

• Duty of care: First, we must establish that the at-fault party owed you a legal duty to act in a reasonable manner that would prevent harm to you and others.
• Breach of duty of care:This element determines that the at-fault did not uphold his or her legal duty by acting in a way that was either negligent, careless, or reckless.
• Link between breach of duty and injuries: This element means that the at-fault party’s failure to uphold his or her legal obligation was the direct cause of your injuries. If the at-fault party acted in a different manner, you would not have suffered harm.
• You suffered damages: The last element of negligence to prove is that you experienced damages from your burn injuries, such as medical costs or physical pain and suffering.

Is There a Time Limit to Take Legal Action?

In Arizona, there is a two-year deadline to take legal action for most personal injury cases, including those involving burn injuries. The two-year deadline begins on the date that the injury occurred. Cases that are not filed before this time may run the risk of being dismissed in court, which means losing out on pursuing compensation for the injuries and damages you have suffered from.

However, every case is different. There may be certain instances where you are required to file before or even after the deadline. For burn injury victims who are minors, the clock does not begin running until they turn 18 years old.

How Are Burn Injuries Categorized?

Burn injuries vary depending on the source and the amount of time the victim is exposed to it. It is categorized into four degrees depending on the severity of injury.

• First-degree burns: These burns affect the outer layer of the skin. Generally, no blisters appear but the burn may be red and painful.
• Second-degree burns:These burns affect the outer layer of the skin and part of the skin’s lower layer, known as dermis. The injury may be red, swollen and may turn into a blister.
• Third-degree burns:These burns destroy the outer layer of skin and the dermis. The burn site may appear blackened, charred or white.
• Fourth-degree burns: Fourth-degree burns are the most severe and penetrate all layers of the skin and the underlying and deeper tissue.

Burn injuries should be looked at by a doctor immediately so that you can take proper measures towards your healing and recovery. It is also important to take photos of each stage of the burn injury to document the healing process.
