Burns and Scarring
"Cases involving burns and scarring can be very complex. It is important to seek advice from a lawyer with specialist knowledge in this area" Damian Horan, Partner & Head of Moore Blatch Resolve
Serious burn injuries can affect vital organs. Burn victims can also suffer emotional and psychological injury. Both scarring and burns claims can involve temporary or permanent disfigurement which often necessitates cosmetic treatment.
Burn cases most commonly arise in workplace accidents or occasionally, serious road traffic accidents. More general scarring cases arise in a variety of situations such as injuries involving animals and claims against the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority.
Burns are classified into three types; first, second and third degree. For details of these types, and an indication of the amount of compensation that may be awarded for each, please click on ‘Read more’ below.
