Act Quickly to Avoid Putting Your Right to Financial Compensation in Jeopardy
46 USC § 30106 describes the timeline for filing a civil action for personal injury or wrongful death related to a maritime injury. In general, it gives you three years to file an injury claim.
If the filing deadline expires, your claim will be dismissed, and you will have no further legally available options. The sooner you put our maritime burn injury attorneys to work for you, the more time we have to build a solid case and interpret all applicable notification and filing deadlines.
How Seamen and Other Maritime Workers Suffer Serious Burn Injuries
Maritime work encompasses many forms of employment that can place you at risk of a life-changing burn injury. Some commonly reported causes include:
- Fire and explosions
- Electrical contact
- Improper grounding
- Chemical contact
- Equipment failures
- Flammable materials
- Dangerous engine rooms
- Kitchen accidents
To prove the negligence required to file a Jones Act injury claim, our accident injury lawyers collect evidence that can steer your case toward a settlement. While the weight of the required evidence is not as stringent as that of a typical personal injury claim, we still work hard to prove the elements of negligence.
The Costs of Treating Burn Injuries Are Recoverable With a Jones Act Claim
According to Cleveland Clinic research, treatment for your burn depends on its type, degree, and severity. The costs of your treatment plan can include:
- Skin grafts
- Debridement
- Infection control
- Physical therapy
- Pain management
- Reconstructive surgery
- Mental healthcare support
Your entire treatment protocol will be covered by your compensation package. The legal team at Poolson | Oden Injury Lawyers works closely with your medical team to obtain a written prognosis that will include all future care expectations and anticipated costs.
