Your Legal Rights After Treatment at UAB Burn Center

  • Medical expenses for acute care, rehabilitation, and future treatment
  • Lost wages for time away from work and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering for the physical and emotional trauma of your injury
  • Permanent disfigurement and disability claims
  • Punitive damages in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct
