Burns are typically the most painful injuries people can suffer. Unfortunately, burn injuries are becoming increasingly common. Fires, explosions, chemical exposure, scalding liquids and oils, malfunctioning tanning beds and overheated equipment all can lead to burn injuries. If you have been burned as a result of someone else's negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.
Under Wisconsin law, when you've been burned as a result of negligence you are entitled to be paid for:
- Past and future medical bills for treatment of your injuries.
- Out of pocket expenses related to the injury including prescriptions, co-pays, deductibles, over-the-counter medications like Advil or Tylenol, braces, hot or cold packs, etc.
- Your mileage to and from your health care appointments
- Your lost wages (both past lost wages and wages you will lose in the future because of disabilities or the need to seek medical care).
- Your past and future pain and suffering, disability and/or disfigurement.
