Burn Injuries

Colorado Burn Injuries - Gas Explosion - Electrical Fire

Burn injuries are the most painful injuries an accident victim can survive. In the most severe cases, a sequence of surgeries over many years, with periods of painful recovery in between, is necessary not only to avoid serious scarring and disfigurement, but just to help regenerate skin and vital tissue. If you or someone in your family had the misfortune to suffer burns in a fire or explosion, contact Denver burn injury attorney John Mattey in Englewood for dependable advice and experienced representation.

From the personal injury lawyer's perspective, an important challenge of burn injury litigation is refusing to settle the case until accurate information can be obtained to document the plaintiff's prognosis. In most cases, the number of surgical procedures necessary to achieve the maximum degree of recovery possible will not be known until the plaintiff has undergone one or more procedures. In the meantime, intensive care, psychological treatment, and rehabilitative therapy can be ongoing or recurring needs, adding huge sums to the cost of treatment.

At the John J. Mattey Law Offices, we work with highly qualified medical and rehabilitative experts to monitor your treatment while we develop meaningful evidence regarding your actual damages. The more credibly and persuasively we can document the requirements of treatment and recovery, the more likely we are to maintain the initiative in the litigation and settlement process. But we will not rush to settlement before your prognosis and future treatment expenses come into clear focus.

Whether you were injured on the job in a construction site, exposed to severe chemical burns in an industrial accident, or suffered electrocution under dangerous property conditions, we have the experience and skill to represent your interests effectively. We can also offer our complete support to you and your family as you undergo a long and painful process of recovery that might never come to a fully satisfactory completion. The scars and disfigurement by themselves represent very serious injuries, but much of the time they will be the least of your problems.

Colorado's limits on pain and suffering damages make it all the more important that your economic losses, represented mainly but not exclusively by the costs of treatment and rehabilitation, are presented clearly and accurately.
