Slidell Burn Injury / Trauma Lawyer
Heat, chemical, radiation, scalding, and electrical burn injuries resulting from accidents caused by the negligence of others are painful and often carry with them serious physical, emotional, and psychological effects. At the Law Offices of Edward A. Shamis, Jr., J.D., P.C., our Slidell burn trauma lawyers understand the pain of enduring a personal injury and want to help victims get the compensation they deserve from responsible negligent parties.
Effects of Burn Injuries
Whether caused by an auto accident fire or a refinery explosion, a body exposed to fire will endure serious damage. The length of the exposure determines the extent of damage, but any amount can result in severe consequences.
Victims may sustain 1st to 4th degree burns as well as any accompanying injuries depending on the circumstances of the accident. These associated injuries sometimes include effects to muscles, tissue, tendons, and nerves. Additionally, a burn victim may also endure other painful issues including, but not limited to:
- Scarring
- Nerve Damage
- Inflammation
- Bone Damage
- Muscle Damage
- Loss of Respiratory Function
- Blood Vessel Damage
- Paralysis of Burned Areas
- Loss of Eyesight
- Loss of Hearing
- Brain Damage
- Shock
- Infections
After a painful healing process, victims are also often presented with scars that will forever remind them of the painful experience. As a result of these scars, the psychological and emotional trauma may be just as difficult to endure as the physical damage.
