Feel the Summer Burn.

Did you know that over a million Americans a year suffer some sort of burn injury?  Summertime is a particularly susceptible time for painful and often disfiguring burns.  Commonly, a burn injury of severity may be caused by an auto accident.  Carelessness around boiling water is another.  There are also electrical and industrial accidents.

Burn injuries have three classifications –

1.  In a first degree burn only the outer layer of your skin is affected.

2.  In the second degree type blisters containing fluid and much more pain are involved.

3.  Third degree burns are the ones we hear most about.  They may require hospitalization and a long period of rehabilitation.

In the case of third degree burns someone may need to be compensated for loss of income and huge medical bills.  To try a personal injury case involving negligence causing severe burns you need a specialist.  In the Great Southwest that firm is Ken Wagner Law.  They are Albuquerque’s burn injury attorney law firm.  Call them right away at (505) 242-6300.   

The McDonald’s Hot Coffee Case.

Even though it has been two decades the McDonald’s Hot Coffee case lives on in history.  If you mention it even today it conjures up all sorts of different opinions.  If you are not familiar with it, it was the product liability case of Stella Liebeck vs. McDonalds, the fast food giant.  This occurred after she spilled hot coffee in her lap.

Interestingly, Esquire Magazine has just picked up the mantle and written a fascinating article on the nearly 25-year old case.  Please check out the September addition of Esquire.  In it you will find a well-crafted retrospective entitled, “What you don’t know about the McDonald’s Hot Coffee burn case”.  If you have the opportunity, give it a careful reading.

Some quarter century later the man who successfully represented Mrs. Liebeck is still practicing in Albuquerque, New Mexico where the incident occurred.  His name is Kenneth Wagner.  Attorney Wagner and his staff are important people to have on your side if you have a personal injury case in the Great Southwest.  Call the office at (505) 242-6300. 

Burn Accidents.

More than one million Americans per year suffer burns of different types and degrees.  Those statistics are provided by the Center for Disease Control.  Half of these burn victims are children who are under 4 years of age.  That means a half million of our preschoolers are suffering every year.  Burns result from a myriad of events such as direct sun, chemicals, fire, explosion, hot liquids, etc.

Commonly, we see severe burns occur as the result of an automobile accident.  In addition, when gas or fuel explodes burns will most often result.  Electrical and industrial accidents lead to damaging burns as well.  And many of us have suffered when scalding hot liquid has been spilled on our person causing varying degrees of burns.

If, heaven forbid, a severe burn has occurred to you or a loved one and you feel that you are entitled to compensation act quickly.  It would be nice to know that in Albuquerque and the Great Southwest the man who won the McDonald’s Hot Coffee Case is at your service.  How about that!  Pick up the phone and call Attorney Ken Wagner at (505) 242-6300.
