What compensation am I entitled to for my injuries?

Your legal rights to compensation may include:

Payment of medical bills

You may be entitled to have your medical expenses, past and future, paid:

• Hospitalization
• Surgical procedures
• Ongoing medical care
• Counseling
• Scar revision/Cosmetic surgery
• Physical therapy
• Occupational therapy

Compensation for loss of income and loss of the ability to earn income in the future

You may be entitled to have your lost wages, past and future, paid.

Vocational rehabilitation (job retraining)

You may be entitled to compensation for the costs of being re-trained into a new job or occupation.

Compensation for pain and suffering

You may be entitled to compensation for the pain and suffering you have endured and may continue to endure as a result of your injury. In a death case, the heirs are NOT entitled to pain and suffering, and in many states they cannot recover for pre-death pain and suffering. However, they DO recover instead for "loss of aid, comfort and society" of the deceased loved one, and for diminution of the estate (a factor of the deceased's future earnings).

Loss of consortium

The spouse of a burn survivor may be entitled to compensation when an injury is so severe that it interferes with the injured party's spousal relations. The effected family member may suffer a very real detriment. Many courts recognize the right of the injured party's spouse to recover in an appropriate case for a loss of support, services, love, companionship, society, affection, sexual relations and solace in the form of a loss of consortium action. Loss of consortium is a claim separate from the injury victim's claim. It is unique to the injured party's spouse and is compensable by a separate damages recovery.

Disfigurement and disability

Any physical or mental impairment or disability.
