What To Do After a Burn Injury
1. Get Emergency Medical Care
Call 911 or go to a burn treatment facility such as UCHealth Burn Center in Aurora or Swedish Medical Center in Englewood. Immediate care reduces complications and preserves evidence of your injuries.
2. Follow All Medical Instructions
Keep detailed records of your treatment, medications, and follow-up visits. This will help prove the full extent of your damages.
3. Document the Scene and Injuries
Take photos of the location, any hazardous conditions, and your burns at each stage of recovery.
4. Preserve Physical Evidence
Save clothing, equipment, or products involved in the incident. These may be critical in proving liability.
5. Avoid Recorded Statements
Do not speak to insurance adjusters or company representatives without legal counsel.
6. Call a Denver Burn Injury Lawyer
The sooner you involve our team, the faster we can protect your rights, investigate the cause, and pursue full compensation.
Factors That Affect Your Burn Injury Case Value
Severity of the Burn and Medical Care Needed
Third- and fourth-degree burns that require skin grafts, surgeries, or ICU stays increase the potential case value significantly.
Permanent Scarring and Disfigurement
Visible injuries, especially to the face, hands, or other exposed areas, often lead to higher compensation for emotional and psychological impact.
Lost Wages and Earning Capacity
If you missed work or can't return to your previous job due to mobility issues or disability, this impacts the financial recovery you may pursue.
Pain, Suffering, and Trauma
Chronic pain, anxiety, PTSD, and lifestyle changes from burns are major factors in non-economic damages.
Liability and Negligence
Was the burn caused by an employer's safety violation, a landlord's negligence, or a defective product? The clearer the fault, the stronger the case.
Available Insurance Coverage
The responsible party's policy limits and your own coverage (if applicable) set the ceiling for what may be recovered.
Compensation You May Recover
| Category | What It Covers |
|---|---|
| Medical Expenses | ER visits, burn unit care, surgeries, skin grafts, rehab |
| Lost Wages | Missed work, PTO, reduced hours during recovery |
| Reduced Earning Capacity | Long-term income loss due to disability or disfigurement |
| Pain and Suffering | Physical pain, chronic discomfort, mental and emotional trauma |
| Property Damage | Damage to clothing, tools, devices, or vehicles in the incident |
| Out-of-Pocket Costs | Travel for treatment, home health, wound care supplies |
| Future Medical Care | Additional surgeries, therapy, scar revision procedures |
| Wrongful Death | Funeral costs, loss of income and companionship (if fatal) |
We work with medical professionals, vocational experts, and life care planners to fully assess your short- and long-term damages, and fight to recover every dollar.
