Compensation for burn injuries from a motorcycle accident can be high given that the scarring from burns can be severe.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve been the victim of a motorcycle accident and you would like further advice about claiming compensation for burns and scarring, we can help.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>How do we calculate burn injuries from a motorcycle accident?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>According to the official guidelines we use, and our own experience, there are a number of factors to look at when we value burn injuries from a motorcycle accident. These can include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The severity of the burns in terms of where they are and how much of your body is scarred;<\/li>\n<li>Your age and occupation: particularly if there will be a direct impact on your occupation;<\/li>\n<li>Your own personal view on vanity;<\/li>\n<li>The extent of ongoing care and surgery required to aid your recovery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the long-term, a lot of what we look at is about the scarring and how this can affect you personally. Whether the injuries are caused by actual burns from a fire, or burns sustained from friction, you can be eligible to make a claim.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How much are burn injuries from a motorcycle accident?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>To properly value your claim for burn injuries from a motorcycle accident, we\u2019ll need expert reports. We can arrange for those as part of the claim and then use our experience and the official guidelines to value the case.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s never an exact science, especially with injuries like burns and scarring. Some of the suffering can be subjecting to the individual, but that\u2019s where the reports come in.<\/p>\n<p>Using the official guides, rough estimations can be in the region of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Burns that lead to severe facial disfigurement or where more than 40% of other body parts are covered: up to \u00a390,000.00<\/li>\n<li>Less severe facial but still significant disfigurement: up to \u00a342,000.00;<\/li>\n<li>Non-facial scars in noticeable places: up to \u00a320,000.00;<\/li>\n<li>Less significant scarring: up to \u00a312,000.00<\/li>\n<li>Simple or \u201ctrivial\u201d burns: up to \u00a33,000.000;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For tailored advice about claiming compensation for burn injuries from a motorcycle accident, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorbikeinjurylawyers.co.uk\/serious-injury-team\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>please contact the team for help<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getting the right advice about burn injuries from a motorcycle accident is important, especially when the burns are severe.
