Burn injuries are some of the most painful and disfiguring injuries a person can suffer. Often these injuries result in multiple grafting surgeries and prolonged post-surgical therapy. Your New Mexico lawyer must understand the immediate and long-term consequences associated with these injuries. Over 4.5 million Americans suffer serious burn injuries each year as a result of fire, industrial accidents, chemical spill and construction accidents involving electrical wiring.
Serious burn injuries are always catastrophic to both the victim and his family. Extreme pain results not only from the injury, but from the therapy needed for recovery. Scarring occurs, which is painful and emotionally traumatic. And, there is often a loss of movement, use, and flexibility.
If you or a loved one has suffered such an injury, then you may need to seek legal counsel regarding possible claims which are a result. Please contact Keller & Keller for a free initial consultation.
