- Gathering and presenting necessary evidence to establish a strong case for compensation.
- Depose key witnesses and consult with medical professionals and fire investigators in order to establish negligence and damages.

How Much is My Burn Injury Case Worth?
Serious burns can be some of the most expensive injuries one can endure, and hospital stays for burn injuries can be twice as expensive as other injuries. Each case differs, but the factors that go into determining case value include:
Medical bills: All medical bills relating to the treatment of your burn injury, as well as any future medical treatment that is anticipated.
Lost wages: If you were unable to work as a result of your burn injuries, you may be able to recover compensation for wages you missed as well as the loss of your future earning potential.
Pain and suffering: Severe burn injuries can be particularly life-altering. Many people experience long-term conditions like permanent scarring, depression, and PTSD due to the fire or explosion that caused their injuries. You may be able to seek compensation for the physical pain and emotional distress you endured due to your burn injury.
