Burn Injury Compensation Claims Information

Burns are some of the most painful injuries you can suffer. Not only are they difficult to treat, they can leave you with long-term scarring and chronic pain conditions.

What are the Different Kinds of Burn Injuries?

There are many different kinds of burn injuries that you could suffer. You could be burned by an open flame, heated surfaces or certain harmful chemicals, such as acids. 

First Degree Burns: Sunburn is a good example of a first degree burn where the epidermis or top layer of skin becomes red and painful but doesn’t blister. This is considered a mild type of burn. 

Second degree Burns: A second degree burn will affect both the upper and lower( dermis) layer. When suffering second degree burns you may well experience pain, redness, swelling and blistering.

Third Degree Burns: A third degree burn affects all three layers of the skin: the epidermis, dermis, and fat. These burns also obliterate hair follicles and sweat glands. Since third-degree burns harm nerve endings, you likely won’t feel pain in the burned area itself, but rather in the surrounding regions. The affected skin may appear black, white, or red and often has a leathery texture.

Whatever degree of burn you have suffered so long as it wasn’t your fault, you may be able to make a claim for burn injury compensation. If you are looking to make a burn injury claim contact the professional team here at Tylers without delay.

Whether you’ve been burned by negligence or faulty equipment in the workplace, or by negligence at an event, we are here for you. Whatever kind of burn injury you’ve suffered, so long as it wasn’t your fault, you may be entitled to claim burn injury compensation. For more information, get in touch with Tylers Solicitors today.

    I Was Burned at Work – Could I Claim Compensation?

    If you’ve suffered any kind of burn injury at work that wasn’t your fault, you may be able to claim compensation. In the workplace, there are many ways in which you could suffer anything from a minor to life-threatening burn. 

    Whether faulty machinery has overheated and created a dangerous surface, or the pressure in a system has caused water to become boiling hot, you may be able to claim compensation. You could also claim if you haven’t been given the correct health and safety equipment, or if another employee’s negligence has led to you suffering a burn of any kind.

    Compensation Amounts

    Burn Injury Compensation Claims Amounts

    As with any kind of injury, including injuries caused by accidents at work, the amount of compensation you could be able to claim depends on the severity of your injuries. The more serious your injuries, and if you’ve sustained any long-term conditions, the more compensation you may be able to claim. Here at Tylers, our no-win, no-fee solicitors are dedicated to helping you get the maximum amount of compensation for your burn injury.

    Minor Burn Injuries Compensation Amounts

    Even minor burns can be painful or lead to long-term cosmetic damage. While it’s likely you’ll make a full recovery from minor burns, you may still be able to make a claim for compensation. In some cases, you could suffer several minor burns due to a specific incident. In these cases, you may be able to claim for separate burns.

    £1,360 to £3,090

    Moderate Burn Injury Compensation Amounts

    Moderate burn injuries are larger or more serious burns which require medical treatment. While they may be focused on a specific area, they can also be spread across your body. The amount of compensation you could receive depends on the severity and size of your burns, in addition to their position on your body.

    £3,150 to £26,380

    Serious Burn Injury Compensation Amounts

    More serious burn injuries will often require serious medical attention and are likely to leave you with long-term chronic pain and cosmetic damage. In many cases, these burns will require skin transplant to repair the damaged area. Often, you’ll never make a full recovery from burns of this severity, leaving you with visible scars and long-term pain, or the need for regular medical attention to deal with the symptoms.

    £14,320 to £85,340

    Burns Exceeding 40% of a Person’s Body Compensation Amounts

    If your burns exceed more than 40% of your body, you’re going to be left with long-term health complications, not to mention the cosmetic damage. In some cases, burns of this severity can be almost impossible to effectively treat and you could be at risk of suffering a wrongful death. Here at Tylers Solicitors, we can help you to get the compensation you need to move on with your life following serious burn injuries exceeding more than 40% of your body.

    Likely to Exceed £91,910

    When assessing a tinnitus claim, several different factors will be taken into account.  These claims are classified into two main categories: general damages and special damages.

    General damages account for aspects like the extent of the injury, the pain and suffering endured, and the overall impact on your life both currently and in the future. Special damages focus on financial losses, including loss of earnings, medical costs, home modifications, and specialised equipment.

    How Long Will It Take To Get My Burn Injury Compensation

    There is no way of giving you an exact timeline when it comes to burn injury compensation claims. This is because like any personal injury claim it is dependent on a number of different factors. Things such as the extent of your injuries, complexity of the claim, liability disputes can all play a significant part in how long the claims process takes.
