         Victims of fires, explosions, electric shock, and other accidents could suffer serious and catastrophic burn injuries. These burn injuries could cause both physical and psychological scars. Often, burn injuries result in significant medical bills, lost wages, and extreme pain and suffering. When someone else caused a burn injury due to reckless, careless, or negligent conduct, a victim may be entitled to seek compensation for his or her injuries. However, insurance companies know how costly burn injuries can be, so they will frequently try to lower their exposure by blaming you and the unpredictable nature of fire.
