Ohio Burn Injury Lawsuits

Statistics from Ohio and elsewhere indicate that fires and burns are the fifth most common cause of unintentional deaths in the U.S. Fire and burn injuries can result from multiple causes, including:

  • Defective product
  • Industrial explosions
  • Flammable materials
  • Gas explosions
  • Hot liquid burns
  • Motor vehicle fires
  • Building fires
  • Household fires
  • Radiation burns from x-rays or tanning beds

A burn injury can require painful skin grafts, surgical debridement, multiple wound checks, plastic surgery, and a long recovery process. Burn victims are also highly susceptible to infections. For many burn injury victims, full recovery could be months or even years away. It is essential for a burn victim to obtain the compensation needed to cover medical bills for surgeries and rehabilitation, as well as lost wages while they are unable to work.

Frequently Asked Questions About Burn Injury Cases

Burn injury settlements vary based on severity. First-degree burns typically settle for under $10,000, second-degree burns for $25,000–$75,000, and third- or fourth-degree burns can reach $100,000 or even millions. Factors like medical costs, pain and suffering, lost income, scarring, and who’s at fault all affect the final amount. For an accurate estimate, it’s best to speak with a personal injury lawyer.

Burn treatment costs can range from tens of thousands to over $1 million, depending on the severity and complications. A moderate burn might cost over $200,000, while severe burns with complications can exceed $10 million. Costs rise with hospital stays, infections, surgeries, rehab, and long-term care like skin grafts or psychological support

Most workplace burns are handled through workers’ compensation, which covers medical bills and lost wages. However, you may be able to sue if your employer was grossly negligent, intentionally caused the injury, lacked workers’ comp insurance, or if a third party (like a faulty equipment manufacturer) was to blame. Always speak with a qualified attorney to understand your options.
