Permanent Scarring and the Value of a Case

Todd P. Emanuel October 25, 2016 Leave a Comment

We have a case involving a high school girl, whose face is severely permanently disfigured as a result of a restaurant spilling scalding liquid on her.   I cannot think of a more sensitive age for a girl to receive an injury like this.  I feel strongly that the value of… CONTINUE

Burns: Pursuing Damages in Cases of Long-Term Scarring

Todd P. Emanuel October 24, 2016 Leave a Comment

Injuries that occur at medical facilities are characterized under the law as medical malpractice cases, so the damages are somewhat limited. However, we do see damages for past medical expenses, future medical expenses, lost wages, as well as pain and suffering, and emotional distress.

Accidental Burns Resulting from Laser Treatments

Todd P. Emanuel October 20, 2016 Leave a Comment

Medical facilities that perform laser treatments, such as brown spot or laser hair removal, need to be properly supervised by medical doctors. We have had multiple cases where the supposed medical supervisor of the skin clinic is not even on the premises during the laser procedure, and the nurse who… CONTINUE

Does Relationship Status of the Victim Have an Impact on the Value of My Case?

Todd P. Emanuel October 20, 2016 Leave a Comment

It is generally accepted that one’s physical appearance has social consequences. Not only does a disfiguring burn on one’s’ face make him or her less attractive to potential mates; it becomes the very first impression in a social or business setting. We all like to feel that we are not… CONTINUE

What kinds of burn injuries have you seen?

Todd P. Emanuel October 17, 2016 Leave a Comment

I have seen burn injuries associated with laser treatments that are consistent with the pattern of strokes that the doctor or nurse uses to remove the hair or the brown spots. There was a client who sustained what appeared to be zebra stripe scars from her shoulders to her elbows…. CONTINUE

What about the spouse? Is there ever any collateral damage for the family? Can a burn injury change the relationship dynamics in a family, and does that count towards damages?

Todd P. Emanuel October 17, 2016 Leave a Comment

Absolutely, it can. For example, an adult burn victim whose face is permanently disfigured may feel very self-conscious going out with the family. He or she may feel anxiety about frightening his children’s friends or others. What’s so damaging and unjust about being a burn injury victim is if you… CONTINUE

Burn Injury Cases: Determining the Amount of Damages

Todd P. Emanuel October 15, 2016 Leave a Comment

The value of a burn injury case depends on many factors: Severity of the burn – Is it a first, second, third or fourth degree burn? Size of the burn – How large is the affected area? Will there be permanent scarring? Location – Where is the burn located? Is… CONTINUE

Understanding the Medical Impact of Your Case

Todd P. Emanuel October 13, 2016 Leave a Comment

Once we have the evidence and history your case, and before attempting to settle financially, we then consult medical experts, plastic surgeons and dermatologists to understand how the burn injury will impact your life now and forever. During this assessment, we ask: Will the scarring or disfigurement improve? What medical… CONTINUE

Developing Your Burn Injury Case: Gathering The Evidence

Todd P. Emanuel October 10, 2016 Leave a Comment

We conduct investigation to determine all possible causes of the incident that led to the burn injury. This entails collecting all sources of information relevant to the case. We begin by interviewing witnesses, examining physical evidence, gathering fire reports, medical records, and medical bills. For example, perhaps you were burned… CONTINUE

Permanent Scarring and the Determining Damages

Todd P. Emanuel October 6, 2016 Leave a Comment

We have a case involving a teenage girl, in high school, whose face is permanently disfigured as a result of a restaurant spilling scalding liquid on her. I cannot think of a more sensitive age for a girl to receive an injury like this. She is at a tender age… CONTINUE
