Fire Accidents in California

Fire accidents are caused by various factors, including faulty electrical equipment, cigarettes or candles.

Negligence is an important cause in these types of accidents and should be considered as such whenever the victim decides to take the case to court.

3

Burn Injury Victims in L.A.

Severe burn injury victims go through a tremendous ordeal during the treatment and recovery period.

Because of the nature of the injuries, the medical costs associated with such an impact are usually very high.

4

Compensations for Burn Injuries

Physical and emotional scars remain after a burn injury. Victims are entitled to seek just compensation when the fire took place as a consequence of another accident, like a defective product accident.

Plaintiffs will usually need legal aid in order to be able to obtain the maximum amount of compensation possible for their extensive injuries.

5

Proving Fault in Fire Accidents

Negligence is a common cause for fires. They can occur as a result of unsupervised use of lighters or matches or as a result of a manufacturing defect, in which case the producer of the item can be held responsible.

Proving negligence is done by proving that the defendant had a duty of care towards the plaintiff who, in lack thereof, was injured.

6

Negligence in Fire Accidents

The elements of negligence that need to be proved in court are the legal duty of care, the breach of the duty of care and the legal cause of the resulted injury.

If you choose to work with one of the L.A. personal injury attorneys, the lawyer will handle this step for you.

Types of Compensations for Burn Victims

Burn victims can ask for two types of compensations: for the expenses associated with treating the injuries and for the emotional trauma suffered after the accident.

The emotional injuries can be just as serious as the physical ones in these types of traumatic events.

8

Steps for Obtaining Compensations for Burn Injuries

Victims of burn injuries need to not handle their case alone. A lawyer can help them get through these challenging times and obtain just compensations for their injuries.

A lawyer can help them send a demand letter to the plaintiff and the insurance company, negotiate the compensations and even take the case to court.

9

Time Limits for Obtaining Compensations

Personal injury victims can seek compensations within a specific time limit. In California, the statute of limitations is two years from the date when the injury took place.

You are best able to meet this legal time limit when working with one of the Los Angeles personal injury lawyers.
