Burns and scalds can be serious injuries. Even a small burn or scald can remain painful for a long time.

Serious Burn Injury Claims

Severe burns and scalds can damage nerves, tendons, ligaments and muscles. They can also result in permanent scarring and even death. Scarring can reduce mobility and cause psychological distress.

The severity of the injuries and the treatment required often depends on the part of the body affected. Plastic or cosmetic surgery may be needed. If you have suffered a serious burn, you may be entitled to make a burn injury claim.

Common causes of serious burn injuries

We tend to associate burns with heat or open flames. However, they can also be caused by cold, electricity, chemicals, radiation, sunlight and friction, as well as hot liquids and steam.

Some of the most common serious burn injury claims we deal with are caused by workplace accidents, road accidents or accidents that occur during surgery and operations. They can happen in schools, nurseries and other public places.

If you’ve been scalded or burnt, our serious burn injury lawyers can advise you on, and help you make, a burn compensation claim.
