Your Sarasota Burn Injury Lawyer Will Fight for the Recovery of Your Treatment Expenses
Burn injuries often require long-term and costly medical care. To ensure you get all the treatments your injuries require, your Sarasota burn lawyer will request fair compensation for:
- Ongoing medical bills
- Emergency room fees
- Hospital admissions
- Assistive medical devices
- Treatment-related travel
We will also request compensation for your current and future lost income, lost earning potential, and property damage. If your loved one did not survive their burn injury, we will pursue appropriate wrongful death damages for your family.
Recover Pain and Suffering and Other Non-Economic Damages
Burn injuries and the recovery process can result in significant pain and suffering. Our legal team will collect your medical records and other evidence to assess compensation for the physical and emotional pain and suffering you have endured.
Additional non-economic damages we can pursue for you include physical disability, disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment of life. To support your compensation request, we will collect tangible evidence of your intangible damages.
We Will Accurately Interpret the Sarasota, Florida Burn Injury Statute of Limitations
In general, you have two years to file your personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit, according to Florida Statutes § 95.11. Complying with the statute of limitations is critical to your case. If it expires, you could lose the legal right to compel the negligent party to compensate you.
Your burn injury lawyer in Sarasota will identify any circumstances that may toll (pause) or extend the filing deadline, per Florida Statutes § 95.051. You do not have to determine the statute of limitations alone. Call our team at Ged Lawyers—the sooner, the better—for help interpreting and meeting the filing deadline.
It Costs Nothing Upfront to Hire a Sarasota Burn Attorney
You do not have to wait to hire a personal injury attorney or worry about any upfront or out-of-pocket costs. We will represent you on a contingency fee basis. Our fee agreement covers:
- Court filing fees
- Deposition expenses
- Discovery costs
- Evidence collection
- Expert witnesses
- Investigation costs
- Mediation costs
Our fee is a percentage of your settlement or trial verdict. If you do not receive compensation, you will not owe us any legal or attorney’s fees.
The Importance of Proving the Responsible Party’s Negligence and Liability for Your Burn Injury
Among the most common causes of accidental burns are workplace accidents, car accidents, and other traumatic accidents that cause you to come into contact with open flames, searing metal, or other scalding substances.
Your burn injury claim requires proof of the at-fault party’s negligence. Your burn injury attorney in Sarasota will build a case file that demonstrates the following legal elements of negligence:
- Duty of care
- Breach of duty
- Causation
- Damages
By establishing these key elements, we will prove the at-fault party’s financial liability and your right to recover damages.
How Evidence Can Steer Your Case Toward an Out-of-Court Settlement
Since legal representation for either party in a personal injury dispute was not present when the accident occurred, we rely on evidence to tell its story. When the substance of your accumulated evidence indicates the responsible party’s negligence, it can drive your case toward a settlement rather than a trial.
The evidence we obtain for your case file may include:
- Police report
- Accident scene photos
- Expert testimonials
- Injury photos
- Medical records
- Proof of income
- Witness statements
- Written prognosis
We will not tax you with collecting evidence. Instead, our legal team will handle it for you and submit it to the negligent party’s insurance company with a settlement demand letter on your behalf.
