Metairie lawyer Stephen Rue has focused in personal injury for more than 30 years in Greater New Orleans and throughout Louisiana, with many successful recoveries for clients who were badly burned through the negligence of others.

Metairie Burn Accident Lawyers · Catastrophic Injury Compensation

The law firm has handled many burn injury scenarios — car fires in auto accidents/auto wrecks, a faulty gas pump at a gas station, residential fires, oil rig fires, chemical burns, high-voltage wires and other personal injury and workplace accidents.

They can devote the resources for a thorough investigation into the cause of the fire or burns, whether a motorist’s carelessness, a property owner’s negligence or an employer’s willful disregard for safety.

Once the liable parties are identified, your attorney will work with the family and the medical professionals to build a case for economic and noneconomic damages, including:

• Hospital intensive care

• Skin grafts and physical rehab

• Pain management

• Nursing care and transportation to therapy

• Plastic surgery

• Scarring and disfigurement

• Lung damage from smoke inhalation

• Counseling for depression or post-traumatic stress

• Lost wages and projected earnings

• Vocational rehabilitation

• Loss of consortium

• Pain and suffering

The psychological and emotional trauma cannot be overstated. Burn victims don’t recognize themselves in the mirror and are subjected to stares or comments in public. Resuming and rebuilding their lives takes years, with many medical and personal setbacks.
