- A motorcycle accident, such as one involving road rash burns
- A truck accident, such as one involving catastrophic burns

The Burn Injury Damages You Can Claim
Your incident was not your fault, so you’re not liable for your damages. You can hold the at-fault party to account through an insurance claim or lawsuit, and in your claim or suit, you can demand all of the damages related to the incident. These damages may include:
- Physical damages: You can claim your physical pain and suffering as damages, as well as any disfigurement due to scarring, and any disability due to muscular or neurological damage
- Intangible damages: The incident or your injuries may be causing mental/emotional damages you can also claim, such as mental anguish or emotional trauma
- Financial damages: These can include property damage bills, hospital bills, bills for burn therapy, bills for surgery, lost income, and/or lost income earning potential
- Punitive damages: If you believe the other party in your case was extremely negligent or even malicious, you may be awarded these damages by a judge
- Wrongful death damages: If a close loved one lost their life due to their injuries, you can claim these damages for your deceased loved one, yourself, and the rest of your family
How an Evansville Burn Injury Lawyer Can Help
You may be feeling overwhelmed by your situation right now, especially if you’re still recovering from your injuries and taking care of family matters. However, you can leave legal matters to a lawyer from our firm, and your lawyer can recover compensation for you so you can handle financial matters more easily.
Your lawyer will take over your entire case from you and:
List and Valuate Your Damages for You
Some of the first things your Evansville burn injury lawyer will do for you is determine which damages you can claim and then determine their value. Your lawyer may be able to identify certain damages you don’t know you can claim, and your lawyer can valuate your intangible damages, such as your mental suffering, so you can demand fair compensation for them.
Negotiate or Litigate Your Case on Your Behalf
Your lawyer will explain your damages and their value to the other party’s insurance company and attorneys, and then attempt to negotiate a fair settlement with them. If they don’t make an honest attempt to negotiate, your lawyer can threaten to sue them and take them to court.
If the insurer and opposing attorneys don’t negotiate fairly, your lawyer will follow through on the threat, hire experts to corroborate your case to a judge, and then argue for a fair verdict from the judge.
Why You Should Start Your Evansville Burn Injury Case Today
By hiring your lawyer soon, you’ll give them more time to build and bolster your case. It can take some time to collect case evidence, like security camera footage, and corroborating evidence, like expert witness testimony.
You’ll also give your lawyer more time to meet any deadlines, such as the deadline for a personal injury lawsuit. In Indiana, this filing deadline is within 2 years from the date of an incident, according to IC § 34-11-2-4. There is also a 2 year deadline for strict liability as per IC § 34-20-3-1. You may not be considering a lawsuit, but it may become your best option in the future, so you should plan for one today.
