Burn Injury Lawsuits

Baton Rouge and Gonzales, Louisiana

It is not an exaggeration to say that burns are probably the most traumatic physical injury a person can suffer. The initial injury can be extremely painful, the recovery is slow and healing process may require plastic surgery.

There are three common categories of burn.

• 1st Degree: burns are superficial and only affect the first layer of skin known as the epidermis
• 2nd Degree: burns remove the first layer of skin (epidermis) and move into the second layer known as the dermis – requires immediate medical attention
• 3rd Degree: burns remove first and second layers of skin (epidermis and dermis) and move into organs, tissue and bone – requires immediate medical attention

You can get burned a number of ways including:

• Heat (fire, steam, hot liquid, hot object)
• Chemicals
• Electricity
• Radiation
• Sun

Many burns that are preventable occur due to the negligence of others (improperly regulated tap water) or a defective product (faulty smoke alarm).

The experienced Louisiana burn injury attorneys at Gordon R. Crawford & Associates realize that recovering from a serious burn can take time. They will review your claim, evaluate a potential burn injury lawsuit and help you receive the compensation you deserve.
