Unfortunately, a serious burn can be life-changing. Severe burns can inhibit mobility and activity and are often extremely painful, and victims may have to undergo extensive treatment and surgery. Burns can also be life-threatening, weakening the body and making it vulnerable to infections and other complications. With more than 40,000 Americans facing hospitalization due to burns every year, it is crucial that you get the medical care and support you need following a burn injury. After that, you need a legal advocate who will stand up for justice in your case.
