Burn Injuries

If you have suffered a burn injury while on the job please call for a free consultation. Burn injuries can be very debilitating. If you have suffered a burn injury you may be entitled to an award for disfigurement as well as an award for any impairment to your skin. Often burn injuries can affect the use of a body part which may be impaired by a burn injury.

If you have suffered a burn injury and have a compensable workers' compensation claim it is important to inform the medical profession of all the problems and pain you may be experiencing. This may include loss of range of motion of a body part that has been burned. Once you have reached maximum medical improvement following a burn on the job it is important that future medical treatment be addressed. Depending on the seriousness of the burn, this can include future surgeries, pain management, lotions and cremes for the burn as well as sun screen or special garments which must be worn by the injured worker. Should you experience any depression or psychological symptoms following a burn injury you should inform the medical professionals who are treating you following the burn injury.

If you have suffered a burn injury while on the job and have questions please contact Brad Baker to discuss your claim.
