When to File a Burn Injury Claim

Generally, you have three years from the date of your burn injury to file a claim in Massachusetts. Though this may seem like an extended period, it is vital that you take action early on, as several factors can impact the ability to successfully pursue your case. If your burn injury was caused by another party’s negligence or wrongful conduct, you may be entitled to compensation for damage.

Many types of burn injuries are severe and require extensive medical care and treatments, such as surgery or skin grafts. These medical costs can add up quickly over time, so it is recommended that you get legal help as soon as possible to pursue a claim for these costs. Furthermore, Massachusetts law requires specific procedures to be followed when filing personal injury claims involving cases such as burn injuries. Getting our help early on can be critical for protecting your rights.

How Can I Tell if My Burns Are Severe Enough to Pursue a Claim?

When it comes to burn injuries, the severity of the burn can determine whether you have a case. Generally, burn injuries that are severe enough to be considered in a court of law must cause disfigurement and scarring, physical pain and suffering, and mental and emotional distress.

Burn injuries are classified in degrees, the severity of which will likely influence your claim:

First-degree burns affect the skin’s outer layer, causing redness, minor swelling, and temporary pain.
Second-degree burns damage both the skin’s outer and inner layers. Symptoms include redness, blistering, swelling, and significant pain lasting over three days.
Third-degree burn injuries often cause permanent scarring, disability, disfigurement, and nerve damage due to the destruction of multiple layers of skin and underlying tissues. In some cases, third-degree burn victims must undergo extensive surgeries such as skin grafts or tissue transplants to repair the damage caused by their burns.

Fourth-degree burns are the most severe burn injury. They go through all layers of skin and can even burn muscle, bone, or other tissues. Burns like these require immediate medical attention and could result in serious medical procedures such as amputations.
Chemical burns may also qualify for personal injury settlements depending on the extent of your physical injuries and psychological suffering from these accidents.

You can theoretically seek compensation in all these cases. Still, you must prove that your burn resulted from another party’s negligence and that your burn led to medical expenses. Even seemingly innocuous first- and second-degree burns can lead to compensation. Third- and fourth-degree burns tend to leave severe and lasting damage, which is usually more expensive to treat, making a claim or lawsuit more viable.

What Compensation Can I Get for My Burn Injuries?

If you experience a burn injury in Massachusetts, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses and other damage related to the incident. Depending on the severity of the injury, you could receive compensation for hospital bills, physical therapy costs, lost wages due to missed work, or even pain and suffering.

Economic damages cover things like hospital bills, medication costs, doctor visits, and rehabilitation—costs that have a specific monetary cost.

Non-economic damages include intangible effects of your injury, such as pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment in life, and loss of consortium.

In addition, you may also be able to recover punitive damages; however, it is worth noting that these are generally only awarded in extreme cases of negligence or malice. Punitive damages are meant to punish those at fault for their actions.
