What Burn Injury Damages Can a Fairfax, VA, Lawyer Recover?
When a victim is hurt by someone else’s careless or reckless actions, they can hold that party responsible for their damages under Virginia’s negligence laws. Our Fairfax personal injury attorneys handle these cases based on burn injuries and the accidents that cause them.
We know how to identify recoverable damages and seek a payout based on them. This could allow you to recover more money than you would if you filed a claim on your own.
Whether we negotiate or litigate your case, the recoverable damages could include:
Current Expenses and Losses
We calculate the value of your expenses and losses to date. Depending on how your injuries occurred, this could include medical care, related expenses, income losses, replacement of damaged property, and out-of-pocket costs.
Future Costs
We work with experts who help us estimate the cost of your future expenses and losses, including ongoing medical support, treatment, and monitoring of lasting conditions, diminished earning ability if you have permanent disabilities, and other related costs.
Intangible Damages
We also seek compensation for your intangible losses, including “pain and suffering” and inconvenience. We know how to calculate a monetary range and negotiate a settlement that includes these non-economic expenses.
Wrongful Death Damages
If you lost a loved one to their Fairfax burn injuries, you can file a wrongful death action. Our team handles these cases regularly and will fight for justice for your family. Per Va. Code § 8.01-244, we usually have up to two years to file the complaint to begin this type of lawsuit. However, we need to get to work as soon as possible. Contact us for a free claim review.

How Our Lawyers Determine Your Options After a Fairfax Burn Injury
Burn injuries are fairly common. Thankfully, most are minor. Serious injuries do occur, though. Victims with severe burn injuries face significant risks to their lives and futures. Many spend weeks or even months in a burn unit, in the hospital, or a rehabilitation facility.
According to the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) National Inpatient Sample (NIS), the estimated number of annual hospital burn admissions is around 29,165. These victims suffer serious burn injuries at work, at home, and in public places.
While a fire at home, in an apartment building, a hotel, a restaurant, or another location can certainly cause significant, life-altering injuries, burns occur in other ways, too. This includes hot liquids or steam, chemical spills and exposure, electrical burns, radiation burns, contact with hot surfaces, and friction burns.
These cases most commonly support an auto accident, premises liability, or defective product case. If another party’s negligence caused your injuries, you can hold them accountable. We can assess your options during your FREE claim review.
How Do These Cases Work?
For example, consider injuries following a motorcycle accident. A driver pulled out in front of you, and you had to lay your bike down to avoid a more serious collision. You slid across the road surface and received serious friction burns, frequently called road rash.
Road rash has the same dangers as other burns, with extensive skin damage and a high infection risk. In a serious case, hospitalization, regular debridement, and even skin grafts might be required. The costs compound quickly.
The state’s car accident laws apply. To hold the at-fault driver responsible, you will need to have evidence to show:
- The driver had specific traffic laws to follow
- They failed to do so
- Their action or inaction caused the collision
- You suffered injuries and financial costs because of the collision
We most commonly recover compensation for our clients hurt in a Fairfax burn injury accident by negotiating a fair settlement agreement with the at-fault driver’s auto liability insurance carrier. When we need to sue, we generally have up to two years from the accident date to get started per Va. Code § 8.01-243.
