Burn injuries, regardless of their severity, can have a profound impact on your life. Even seemingly minor burns can lead to work absences, persistent physical issues and the burden of medical expenses and emotional distress. If your injury was caused by negligence, lack of supervision or any other factor that places the blame on another person, you have the right to pursue a personal injury claim in Oklahoma. While you might consider handling the claim on your own, it is crucial to understand why contacting a skilled attorney is essential for your burn injury case.
Burn Injury Claim Process
If you’re filing a burn injury claim, there are essential items you’ll need to gather throughout the process. These items include:
- Medical reports
- Police reports
- Witness statements
- Video or photos
- Evidence of prior infractions
- Evidence of injury cause
Filing a claim after a burn injury while you are recovering can be difficult. Regardless of the evidence in your favor, something as simple as misfiling can leave your case unheard.
In Oklahoma, you have up to two years to file a claim; however, the longer you wait, the more difficult the process becomes. A personal injury lawyer could help you determine the strength of your case, file on time and obtain the evidence you need to receive the compensation you deserve.
