What Compensation Can You Recover for a Serious Burn Injury?
A serious burn can cause hospitalization, surgery, skin grafting, rehabilitation, scarring, reduced mobility, emotional distress, and extended time away from work. When another party's negligence causes the injury, a Florida burn survivor may pursue compensation for current and reasonably anticipated future losses, including medical treatment, future care, scarring, lost wages, pain and suffering, and disability.
Read MoreWho Can Be Held Liable for a Burn Injury?
Liability for a burn injury depends on what caused the incident and who had responsibility for preventing it. A burn may result from a building fire, vehicle crash, explosion, chemical exposure, defective appliance, electrical malfunction, unsafe workplace, or another event. Potentially liable parties include property owners, landlords, employers, contractors, manufacturers, retailers, drivers, utility providers, and government entities.
Read MoreHow Is the Value of a Burn Injury Claim Calculated?
There is no standard formula for calculating a burn injury claim. The value depends on the severity and location of the burns, medical treatment, future care, permanent scarring, physical limitations, emotional effects, lost income, liability evidence, insurance coverage, and how the injury changed the survivor's life. Two people with burns described by the same degree may have very different claims.

Top-Asked Questions
In Florida, you typically have four years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, this deadline (called the statute of limitations) can vary depending on the type of injury and circumstances. It's important to act quickly because evidence can disappear and witness memories fade. We recommend contacting an attorney as soon as possible after an injury.
You may recover damages for medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, disability, scarring, and loss of enjoyment of life. In cases involving gross negligence or intentional acts, you might also be eligible for punitive damages. The specific damages available depend on your injury and the circumstances of your case.
Most personal injury cases settle before trial. During settlement negotiations, we work with insurance companies to reach a fair agreement for your injuries and losses. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, we're fully prepared to take your case to trial. We'll never pressure you to accept a settlement you're not comfortable with.
The value of your case depends on many factors: the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, permanent disability, pain and suffering, and the strength of liability evidence. We provide a thorough case evaluation during your consultation. Insurance companies often undervalue claims—that's why having an experienced attorney is crucial.
Florida uses "comparative negligence" rules. Even if you're partially at fault, you may still recover damages—reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you're 20% at fault and damages are $100,000, you'd recover $80,000. However, if you're found to be more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover any damages.
