What You Can Be Compensated for in a Burn Injury Case
The compensatory damages that you are permitted to collect in a Texas burn accident include:
- Past and future medical bills
- Accident-related expenses
- Past and future lost wages/lost earning capacity
- Past and future pain and suffering
In the case of a fire that was caused by illegal, malicious, or nefarious activity, there are special circumstances that may allow you to seek out punitive damages.. If there was an intent to harm (such as arson), then there may be a cause for punitive damages in your case. You would have to prove that there was negligence and malice to get punitive damages.
In cases involving the loss of a loved one in a fire or accident, you may be eligible for a wrongful death case from which you can receive compensation on behalf of your family and those your loved one left behind. There are pain and suffering damages and wrongful death damages that you may be able to collect. Texas law dictates that the people who can typically bring those cases include spouses, any minor children, or parents.
Most Common Texas Burn Injury Accidents
The most common types of burn injury accidents include:
- Fires that get out of control
- Lack of proper safety precautions
- Non-compliant fire cords
- Improper electric work
- Smoke detectors that do not work
In the instances where someone is injured in a burn accident, there are several kinds of burns that can happen. Your skin has two layers and there are three degrees of burns that you may be suffering from.
A first degree burn affects the top layer of your skin, a second degree burn affects both layers of your skin, and a third degree burn affects both layers of your skin and the tissue underneath.
A third degree burn can be so bad that it causes damage down to the bone. There are instances in which you will need a skin graft to treat the burn. When you have a higher degree of burn, you are likely to have significant scarring. This can be an expensive recovery and can take a while to recover from.
Important First Steps After a Texas Burn Injury
In order to have a successful case, there are a few things that you should understand:
- You are bringing a personal injury case against a liable party for your burn

- You need to be able to prove that the liable party’s negligence caused your burn
