Burn injuries in car accident cases occur when something flammable such as gasoline is ignited and the car is either engulfed in flames or a portion of the car suffers fire damage from the car accident impact. Burn injuries are often serious and if the burn is to the face the settlement may be high. Other factors on burn and scar injury settlement may include age, professional background, employment, and education of the car accident bur/scar injury victim. On the latter the more you have may translate into more settlement dollars.

The big question on burn injury settlements in Oregon and Washington is the severity and duration of the burn and whether the wound is visible to someone walking down the street a long time after the car accident.

On any burn injury case plastic surgeons are consulted to evaluate the issue of scar visibility and duration and how the scar may look years down the road. Its also important on any scar or burn injury case in Oregon and Washington to address the emotional damage the burn or scar has had on the car accident victim in order to get top high settlement money fro your burn scar case.

Having settled scar and burn car accident cases I know well how important it is to ensure that some of the above scar and burn criteria are done correctly so to get top money settlement on your case my advice is to talk with an injury lawyer soon to prevent the insurance company from taking advantage of what they know and you don’t.
