Severe Burns
Georgia Burn Injury Claims: Chemicals, Fires, Explosions
If you or someone in your family was injured in a car wreck or workplace accident that involved burn injuries caused by fire, explosion, electrocution or exposure to caustic chemicals, contact an attorney at the Delius Law Firm in Atlanta. We represent burn victims in both personal injury lawsuits and workers' compensation claims throughout Georgia.
Severe burns can require long periods of intensive care, repeated sequences of surgical skin grafts and recovery, rehabilitative therapy, aggressive pain management, and counseling or treatment for depression and the other emotional aspects involved with extensive scarring or disfigurement. Atlanta accident compensation lawyer Scott Delius can help ensure that all aspects of your injury are presented for payment with thorough documentation in clear and persuasive terms, whether your accident resulted from a car fire, fuel tank explosion, or other circumstance that supports a personal injury claim for damages.
Why hire the Delius Law Firm?
If your accident happened on the job, we will examine your case for a possible personal injury claim against a defendant other than your own employer, but in many cases the Georgia workers' compensation system will be your primary means of financial recovery. Firefighters, chemical industry employees, or the victims of any plant or construction site fire will normally have the right to recover workers' comp benefits without the need to prove negligence or fault against anyone. If a negligent party other than your employer or a fellow employee can be identified, we might be able to file a personal injury lawsuit in addition to your workers' compensation claim.
Extensive burn injuries can sometimes qualify as catastrophic injuries under the Georgia workers' compensation system, which means that your benefits and right to medical care will continue for as long as you live.
