The figures
Over 100,000 people attend A&E every year with a burn or a scald. In addition to the hospital attendances a further 250,000 people visit their GP with similar problems. About 8,000 people are admitted to hospital every year and of these about 200 will die from their injuries.

Only a small percentage of these injuries will give rise to a burn injury compensation claim due to the necessity to prove a negligent action on the part of someone else.

Compensation
Severe burns and scalds are some of the most painful types of personal injury often resulting in scarring and disfigurement. Serious burn injuries can be life threatening particularly if they are extensive or affect vital organs.

Victims of burns and scarring can also suffer emotional and psychological problems. Dependent on the extent and severity of the injury and the long term effects, a burn injury compensation claim can result in a very substantial damages award.

If you have suffered burns and scarring in an accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be entitled to compensation for the physical and psychological effects of your injury. Our burn injury compensation solicitors provide legal help to those who have suffered deep second degree burns, third and fourth degree burns and inhalation injuries caused by hot liquids and gases.
