The Extent and Type of Burns You Suffered May Affect How Much Compensation You Can Recover

According to the Mayo Clinic, burns vary in their severity. First-degree burns are superficial and only affect the outer layer of skin. Second-degree burns affect the first two layers of skin and can be very painful. Third-degree burns are the most harmful, as they affect all layers of the skin and may also affect muscles and nerves underneath. 

Those who suffer third-degree burns, especially over a large portion of their bodies and/or in particularly sensitive areas, may experience long-term damage to their quality of life. According to Annals of Burns and Fire Disasters, ongoing effects of burns include scarring, weakness, limited range of motion, body temperature regulation issues, itching, sleep disorders, chronic pain, mental and emotional problems, and difficulties with maintaining social relationships. 

Your Nottingham burn injury lawyer will account for all the ways your burn injuries and the accident have affected and will continue to affect your life when pursuing a fair settlement. While compensation cannot make these issues go away, it can help you get the best physical and mental healthcare, ensuring you are on the best path possible for your future.

When Should You Contact a Burn Injury Lawyer After an Accident in Nottingham, Maryland?

We encourage you to contact our personal injury lawyers as soon as possible after an accident for several reasons, including: 

Time-Sensitive Evidence

Some crucial evidence in your case may disappear if we don’t secure it quickly, such as an incident or police report, a traffic camera or CCTV footage, and physical evidence from the accident scene. We also want to interview any eyewitnesses as soon as possible before their memories start to fade.

We’ll Handle the Insurance Company

The liable party’s insurance company will probably contact you within a few days of the accident, and the last thing you want to do is say something to them that could harm your personal injury claim. If you’ve already hired our law firm, you can simply refer them to us and then get back to resting.

The Statute of Limitations

While some limited exceptions may apply, most people in Maryland have three years from the date they suffered burn injuries in a negligence-based accident to file a lawsuit against one or more negligent parties, per Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 5-101. This probably sounds like plenty of time, but we need as much time as possible to gather evidence and build a solid claim.
