After suffering a severe burn in an accident, you will likely require significant medical care. The care you receive, the expenses associated with it, and the changes to your lifestyle may all be compensated through filing a lawsuit against the person responsible for your accident and injuries .
To explore your options for monetary compensation, contact an experienced Spokane burn injury lawyer from Craig Swapp & Associates.
Proving Your Case
Your Spokane burn injury lawyer will need to prove how the responsible party was at fault for your accident and burn injuries. This is the concept of negligence, and it is critical for receiving financial compensation.
Each case is different, and how you were burned will influence how we proceed. For example, if you were burned in a car accident , the process of gathering evidence will be different than if you were burned by a defective product .
Some of the evidence we will gather may include any of the following:
- Police accident reports
- Accident reports filed with the business where the burn occurred
- Medical records from both the emergency room and your general physician
- Known reports on hazardous products
- Pictures and video
- Witness statements
- And more
Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Claims
It is necessary to hire a Spokane burn injury lawyer within three years of becoming injured. If you fail to file suit prior to the statute of limitations expiring, your case could be thrown out without a verdict being rendered.
This would severely limit your ability to collect financial compensation and may prevent it completely.
Burn Injury Compensation
You could receive compensation for all of the medical bills associated with treating your burns and any other damages and expenses incurred by your accident. These medical expenses include what you have already accrued and the bills you are likely to incur in the future.
Hiring a Spokane burn injury lawyer is the best way to maximize your compensation because we can ensure that your settlement accounts for your other expenses as well:
- Cost of hiring a caregiver for yourself or your children
- Lost wages and income due to being unable to work
- Travel expenses
- Any changes to your home or vehicle necessitated by your burns
- Expenses directly related to your current or long-term care

Client Reviews
“I was concerned with all the paperwork”
Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"
My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"
I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"
I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"
My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
