Fire Injuries Have Far-Reaching Consequences

While smoke inhalation is actually the leading cause of death among fire injury victims, severe burns are some of the most difficult and painful injuries to treat.  Smoke inhalation can be particularly damaging because smoke caused by a burning building often contains harmful chemicals and particulates. Fire injuries involving smoke inhalation can lead to:

Unfortunately, smoke inhalation injuries are not as easy to recognize as a fire injury involving severe burns.  Because of this, victims often do not receive immediate medical care. Symptoms to watch for include:

Premises Liability

$318 Thousand Verdict + Lifetime Medical Benefits

Burn injuries sustained in a fire often cause damage that goes far beyond the damage to the skin.  Advances in medical treatments available for burn and fire injury victims have increased the survival rate dramatically—but victims may continue to face a lifelong struggle and years of painful treatments. 

These treatments and the injuries themselves are often excruciatingly painful and leave the fire injury victim with permanent scarring and disfigurement.

Frequently Asked Questions About New Jersey Fire Injury Claims

FAQ: How much financial compensation am I entitled to receive if my fire injuries were caused by a property owner’s negligence?

Several factors go into determining the amount of compensation that should be included in your fair compensation award. Those factors include:

-The extent of your injuries, and whether you were permanently disabled or disfigured,
-Your lost wages (current and future) and property damage caused by the fire,
-The extent of the emotional trauma caused by the fire,
-The cost of your medical care, both currently and into the future,
-The evidence that can be used to establish liability—in other words, what the property owner did or did not do to cause the fire.

Generally, you are entitled to receive reimbursement for all economic costs associated with your injuries and compensation for subjective harm, like pain and suffering, emotional distress and the ongoing trauma caused by scarring and disfigurement.
Our lawyers work closely with our injured clients to get a complete sense of how their fire injuries have impacted their lives. Getting to know you helps us make the strongest claim based on how the injury has harmed you physically and emotionally.

FAQ: How are damages calculated for pain and suffering and emotional distress caused by fire injuries?

Compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress and other trauma is based upon factors that are both objective and subjective. In other words, both the physical pain caused by your injuries and treatment, and the detrimental impact that the trauma of the fire itself had on your life, are considered. With respect to the emotional element, relevant factors may include:

-Your need for ongoing psychological counseling,
-Whether you are able to function as you did prior to the injury,
-Whether you are having nightmares or otherwise experiencing ongoing fear or flashbacks.

In many cases, we work with cognitive and psychological experts to come up with a monetary figure that can be useful in reaching a settlement agreement that takes emotional trauma into consideration.
