WOODLAND HILLS, CA Oct. 08 — Burn injuries account for approximately 2.4 million injuries every year. This statistic is hardly surprising to burn injury attorney Robert A. Brenner who has been representing victims with personal injury claims since starting his law practice in 1975. Brenner talks about his experience dealing with individuals suffering from the ailments of living with severe burns.

“Luckily, the U.S. has a couple hundred burn care centers that specialize in treating burn injuries. There are some really amazing medical care specialists and life-saving procedures that can help burn victims live a more comfortable life,” said Brenner. Brenner specializes in handling burn injury cases and is the founder of the Web site www.Burnsurvivor.com. Brenner’s site provides a list of burn injury care centers located around the U.S.

Brenner’s knowledge of burn injuries has helped him understand the nature of his client’s injuries. Brenner’s Web site helps others understand burn injuries as well. The site attributes burn injuries as the second leading cause of accidental death in the U.S. Brenner’s site also reports that every year approximately 75,000 people require hospitalization for burn injuries. While not all cases are severe enough to necessitate hospitalization, 650,000 individuals require medical treatment.

Burn injuries range in severity from first degree burns to third degree burns. Third degree burns are the most severe and require medical treatment. “Burn injuries are not only painful, but scarring can often cause a burn victim to become embarrassed or self-conscious,” said Brenner. Brenner describes the various medical options a burn injury victim may undergo. “Depending on the severity, an individual may need a dermabrasion or a skin graft. These surgical procedures, of course, are costly.”

Many of Brenner’s burn injury clients sustained their injuries in a work-related accident. Individuals that work as automobile mechanics, electrical engineers, and machinists are often at risk of a burn injury. Some of the most common causes include electrocution, defective products, and thermal burns.  According to Brenner, in these situations, employees may receive workers’ compensation benefits for their injuries.

Other monetary recovery may also be possible. “There are cases where a victim can also recover a monetary award from a third party even though they cannot sue their employer for their burn injuries,” said Brenner.

Brenner briefly talks about other ways burn injury victims can recovery for their injury. “It really is unfortunate when someone’s carelessness or a manufacturer’s creation of a defective product causes life-altering injuries to someone.” Burn victims may receive compensation for pain and suffering, medical expenses, and lost income. “Fortunately,” said Brenner, “the law allows people to recover compensation for injuries caused by someone else. Otherwise, many burn victims would not be able to afford essential medical treatment.”

Robert A. Brenner earned a J.D. from Whittier College, Beverly School of Law. Benner is an active member of the American Trial Lawyers Association, the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles, the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, and he has been selected as a Super Lawyer for the last five years.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) July 20009 report, “Motorcyclists Injured in Motor Vehicle Traffic Accidents” (DOT HS 811 149), found that injuries sustained by motorcyclists increased 110 percent from 1998 to 2007. The number jumped from 49,000 in 1998 to 103,000 in 2007.

“Motorcycle accidents can result in debilitating injuries, permanent disfigurement, or even death,” says California motorcycle accident attorney Robert A. Brenner. “As a motorcycle enthusiast, I understand the dangers that motorcyclists face every time they ride.”

The NHTSA report found that two-thirds of all motorcycle accidents with vehicles occurred from April to September, more than 60 percent occurred during the daytime, and only 63 percent or 65,000 motorcyclists out of the 103,000 were helmeted at the time of the crash.

The Law Offices of Robert A. Brenner is a legal advocate for those suffering from injuries sustained in motorcycle accidents. Brenner has been a long-time accident attorney representing motorcyclists. Among those he has helped, he is responsible for a $500,000 recovery for the plaintiff in Medin v. City of Oxnard. The plaintiff’s collision with a pickup truck resulted in a fractured femur, tibia, and fibula, and an open reduction internal fixation.

“When a person’s negligence results in serious injury or the wrongful death of a motorcyclist, compensation to the victim or the victim’s family can help pay for the medical costs or compensate for the loss of life,” says Brenner. “Every person owes a duty to act as a reasonable and prudent would in the same or similar circumstances. The failure to do this can sometimes lead to serious financial consequences for the person at fault, even when the result is unintended.”

Catastrophic injuries have devastating effects on those injured and on their family members. No amount of preparation can prepare a person for the long-term medical consequences of a catastrophic injury. A catastrophic injury includes injuries to the spinal cord, accidental amputation, severe burns, multiple fractures, or neurological disorders.

“Catastrophic injury victims and their family often become overwhelmed with the medical costs associated with treating their injuries,” said Los Angeles, California attorney Robert A. Brenner, founder of the Catastrophic Injury Law Group, which is comprised of a nationwide group of attorneys dedicated to the representation of catastrophic injury victims. “Costly treatment may include rehabilitation and care from therapists and specialists. Unfortunately, people fail to realize that when someone else is at fault for their injuries, this financial burden is not theirs alone.”

Brenner launched the Catastrophic Resource Center as an online source for victims and their families to learn more about catastrophic injuries and their legal rights. The center offers a medical care guide, a legal guide, a list of rehabilitation centers and support groups, and a forum dedicated to the discussion of catastrophic injuries.

“It is important for people to understand their legal rights,” said Brenner. “Personal injury law provides various remedies that include monetary recovery for someone else’s negligence or workers’ compensation benefits if the injury is work-related. A person suffering from a catastrophic injury may recover an award for past and future medical costs, rehabilitation, lost earnings, and pain and suffering.”
