HELP FOR VICTIMS OF BURN INJURIES IN BOSTON, MA
Burn injuries can be among the most painful and costly to treat. Burns caused by chemical exposure, explosions, heat radiation, electricity, and other sources often result in nerve damage, and can require costly and painful medical treatment such as skin grafts and reconstructive surgery. To make matters worse, insurance companies may be uncooperative while handling your insurance or claim, adding significant stress to an already devastating situation.
There is hope for Boston residents who have sustained burn injuries on the job or as a result of another’s negligence.
Since his admission to the Massachusetts bar in 1985, personal injury attorney Keith Halpern has represented countless clients throughout the greater Boston area in personal injury claims involving burn injuries. He offers flexible appointment scheduling and free initial consultations, and collects no attorney’s fees if he isn’t successful in your case.
Unemployment and lost wages
Victims of burn injuries often need extensive medical treatment, requiring a great deal of recovery time. In many cases, a burn accident victim may be left permanently disabled. Lost wages as a result of burn injuries quickly add up. If you have lost time from work or are unable to work as a result of your injuries, your personal injury case needs to reflect the complete and long-term effects your burn injury will have on your finances and your quality of life.
An insurance company may pressure you into accepting an early settlement, claiming it is a “one-time” offer. Insurance companies often make these offers because they know that with representation from a skilled personal injury lawyer, you may be able to recover much more.
Boston personal injury lawyer Keith Halpern can help fight for fair and complete compensation for your injuries, taking into account your lost wages now and in the future, as well as your medical bills and pain and suffering. Before you accept a settlement offer from the insurance company, contact personal injury attorney Keith Halpern.
Burn injuries in the workplace
Many burn injuries happen in the workplace. Exposure to chemicals, explosions, electricity, and heat radiation can leave workers seriously injured. Worker’s compensation rates are ridiculously low. It is critical to have an attorney with experience in pursuing claims that are not limited by worker’s compensation. For example, an investigation may reveal that there is a third party, such as an equipment supplier, that bears responsibility. Another possibility is that worker’s comp limits can be avoided by establishing that an employer was not merely negligent, but acted with reckless disregard of known dangers. Keith Halpern has successfully pursued claims and achieved very large settlements in burn cases against the suppliers of defective products, and products with inadequate warnings, including cases involving lab equipment, boiler parts, and chemicals. He has obtained settlements in burn cases far beyond worker’s comp limits by persuading insurers that an employer’s wrongdoing went beyond mere negligence in cases involving utility companies, schools and factories.
