Are Burn Injury Cases Worth More than Typical Injury Cases?

Longterm Recovery

After a burn injury, clients often will ask: Do burn injuries result in higher settlements than ordinary injury cases?

The short answer is yes. When someone is injured because of the carelessness of another person or business, the injured party is entitled to compensation for all the harm they have suffered.

In a burn injury case, the harm is significant and ongoing. The injured party feels the impact of a burn injury long after the initial trauma has healed, perhaps for a lifetime. So any settlement or jury verdict must account for current and ongoing medical expenses, current and ongoing lost income, current and ongoing pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.

Because a burn injury has an extraordinary impact on the injured party and their loved ones, these cases often result in higher than ordinary settlements and verdicts.
