What type of compensation can I receive after a burn injury?
Cindi Broaddus, Dr. Phil McGraw’s sister-in-law, awoke in the passenger seat of a car screaming after sulfuric acid was dropped from an overpass in 2001. She was hospitalized with a 30 percent chance of survival. After twelve surgeries in three weeks, she resigned herself to inspire others to recover. Acid burned 70 percent of her body.
