Burns from crashes, fires, defective products, or workplace incidents can mean repeated surgeries, permanent scarring, and profound emotional impact.
Burn Severity and Treatment
Deeper burns require skin grafts, lengthy hospital stays, and often multiple reconstructive surgeries. The treatment arc can span years.
Scarring and Disfigurement
Permanent scarring and disfigurement support significant non-economic damages, which Maine generally does not cap in ordinary injury cases.
The Full Cost of Recovery
Future surgeries, physical therapy, psychological care, and lost earning capacity all belong in a complete burn claim.
