Burn Injury Lawyer Dallas, TX
Burn injuries are incredibly painful and require intensive, invasive medical treatment. Many victims receive specialized treatment in dedicated burn injury treatment centers, with around-the-clock nursing assistance and wound monitoring. The risk of infection is high, and many people suffer permanent disability and disfigurement. Beyond the intense pain of healing and invasive skin grafts comes the psychological trauma of burn injuries. Many people are devastated by their changed appearance and abilities, which takes a toll on their mental health.
