Burn Injury Lawyers

The burn injury lawyers at Arentz Law Group, P.C. understand that burn injuries are some of the most painful injuries a person can suffer, and we have seen first-hand the physical, emotional, and financial scars that a burn injury can inflict.  According to the American Burn Association, more than 1 million Americans suffer a burn injury every year, and roughly 4,500 of those victims die from their injuries. Tragically, in most cases, a burn injury is caused by negligence.  If you or someone you love has suffered a burn injury and you believe another party is to blame, you could be entitled to substantial compensation in a personal injury lawsuit.  A burn injury lawyer from our firm is ready to review your claim in a free legal consultation.

Types of Burn Injuries

Burn injuries are categoriezed by degrees, according to the severity of the injury.  A first degree burn is the least severe and normally does not require medical attention.  The most severe burn is the fourth degree burn, which reaches muscle, tendon, ligament, or bone and may lead to amputation or even fatality.  

There are a number of different types of burn injuries:

• Thermal Burns: This is the most common type of burn, and is caused by exposure to severe heat.  A thermal burn can be caused by fire, steam, hot water, hot metal, or a number of other factors.
• Radiation Burns: A radiation burn is caused by exposure to nuclear radiation or ultraviolet light.  A tanning bed is an example of a source of ultraviolet light that could lead to a burn injury.
• Chemical Burns: Chemical burns are caused when a person is exposed to caustic chemicals such as an acid.
• Electrical Burns: When high voltage passes through a person’s body, he or she has suffered an electrical burn.  These burns usually leave a severe exit wound.
• Inhalation Injuries: A person can suffer burns to his or her respiratory system if he or she breathes a toxic gas or fumes from a fire or chemical.

About Spinal Cord Injury Lawsuits

Experts estimate that up to 37% of spinal cord injuries are the result of an auto accident, while 21% of these injuries are caused by a slip and fall accident.  In many cases, these accidents are the result of negligence.

A spinal cord injury can cost in excess of $200,000 in the first year alone.  At Arentz Law Group, P.C., our attorneys have seen first-hand the tremendous financial and emotional burdens that come with a spinal cord injury, and we are dedicated holding negligent parties responsible for these injuries fully accountable under the law.

Signs of a Spinal Cord Injury

Despite major breakthroughs in medical research, most spinal cord injuries cause permanent disability, immobility, and a loss of sensation below the point where the spine is injured.  If you are in an accident and experience or witness the following symptoms of a spinal cord injury, seek immediate medical help:

• Loss of consciousness
• Severe back pain
• Pressure in the back, head, or neck
• Weakness
• Loss of movement in any part of the body
• Loss of sensation or tingling in the extremities
• Loss of bowel or bladder control
• Difficulty breathing
• Strangely positioned torso or neck

 If you have suffered a spinal cord injury that was someone else’s fault, you could be entitled to compensation.  Contact a spinal cord injury lawyer at our firm to schedule a free legal consultation.

Traumatic Brain Injury

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) lawyer from Arentz Law Group, P.C. has the experience and resources needed to assist victims in building a strong case so that they may recover the full compensation to which they are entitled for their injuries.  A traumatic brain injury is the result of sudden trauma, and can result in injuries as mild as a slight concussion to a more severe injury like a coma or even death.  Roughly 1.5 million traumatic brain injuries occur in the United States every year, and traumatic brain injury is a leading cause of death and disability among children and adults.  The top causes of traumatic brain injuries in this country are auto accidents and slip and fall accidents, and many brain injuries are the result of another party’s negligence or even medical malpractice.  If you have suffered a traumatic brain injury that was someone else’s fault, you could be entitled to compensation.  Contact a traumatic brain injury lawyer at our firm to schedule a free legal consultation.

Types of Brain Injuries

The traumatic brain injury lawyers at our firm have worked with a number of victims who suffered a brain injury because of someone else’s negligence or actions.  Brain injuries are classified according to the specific part of the brain or head that suffered trauma.  

The following is a list of some of the more common types of brain injuries our lawyers are familiar with:

• Concussions: A concussion occurs after a blow to the head, and can cause bleeding or nerve damage when the brain is violently pushed against the skull.
• Contusions: A contusion is bruising on the brain that is the result of an impact.
• Diffuse axonal injuries: These injuries are mostly caused by car accidents and falls, and they are the result of the brain moving around in the skull.  Roughly 90% of victims of this type of traumatic brain injury remain unconscious, while the remaining 10% are severely impaired.
• Coup-Contrecoup: This type of brain injury causes damage to two areas of the brain: the side where the initial injury or impact occurred and the opposite side.
• Recurrent traumatic brain injuries: These brain injuries are common amongst athletes and they arise when a brain injury is sustained before a prior brain injury has healed.  These injuries could cause ocular (eye) and respiratory failure, among other issues.
