Burn injuries are among the most painful and costly traumatic injuries. They arise from vehicle fires, building fires, scalding, electrical accidents, chemical exposure, and defective products.
Burns are classified by degree and by the percentage of body surface affected. Severe burns can require skin grafts, multiple surgeries, lengthy hospital stays in specialized burn units, and long-term rehabilitation, often leaving permanent scarring and disfigurement.
Massachusetts law allows burn victims to recover for medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and disfigurement. When a defective product or another party's negligence caused the burn, multiple parties may be liable.
Documenting both the physical and psychological impact — including the emotional toll of permanent scarring — is essential to fair compensation in a burn injury claim.
