A severe burn is at high risk for infection, they can require skin grafts, cause significant scarring and disfigurement, and leave you in a large amount of pain. Medically treating these severe injuries is often not completed in one session, but rather several surgeries.
In addition to all of this, there is only so much a plastic surgeon can do to work with the severe scars left behind. At best, if you have had this level of scarring on your facial area, a surgeon can manipulate the tissue to make your face resemble what a face should look like.
This could leave you feeling severely depressed and self-conscious of your image. As a result, you may need to seek out a therapist or specialized program in the future to help you understand and deal with your new and altered image.

Frequently Asked Questions:
This is a primary concern for many victims of burn injuries because it often seems like there is red tape everywhere and that’s because there is, particularly in workplace burn injuries. Companies will often restrict access to employees and individuals unaffiliated with the business.
Do not give up hope just because you are not able to make any headway during your independent investigation. An attorney can tell you what you should have access to by law, and enlist the services of a professional investigator to access content that may not be readily available to you.
Your attorney will find all of the evidence that could be critical to the claim and ensure that it is presented in court during the litigation process.
The severity of your injury will ultimately determine the average length of time that medical intervention could be necessary; however this does not mean that you need to be blocked into a particular time frame. Pain management has been known to be a lengthy and unpredictable scope of treatment.
Major burns can remain painful for a lifetime after surgical intervention due to damaged nerve endings beneath the skin. Even smaller and less critical burns can cause issues well beyond the “average” amount of time. Each injury and person is unique in their length of care.
Severe burns that leave you with a large permanent scar, particularly on exposed areas such as the face, arms, and legs, can cause a lifetime of social and emotional stress. Your attorney will take all of these potential factors into mind when arguing your case against the defendant to get adequate compensation for your future needs.
It is recommended that you do not make any recorded statements to an insurance company before speaking with an attorney. Insurance companies are out to protect themselves and their clients.
They will have contacted you directly for two reasons:
- They want you to make a recorded statement that may cast doubt upon the fault of their client.
- They want you to accept an out-of-court settlement that is likely far less than a qualified attorney, like Farshad, could win for you in court.
Be sure to contact Farshad first before speaking on the record or accepting any offers from an insurance company. Call us today for a free consultation regarding your burn injury and together we can determine what outcome can be expected from pursuing your claim in the courtroom.
Unfortunately for victims in California, the law places the burden of proof on the recipient of the negligence. You must be able to prove that the trauma caused to you was preventable by another person to receive compensation and justice. This is unfair to you and anyone else who has been hurt by this type of negligence.
