Why burn injury claims require experienced counsel
Burn injuries range from painful first-degree burns to life-threatening third- and fourth-degree burns. Severe burns can mean months of treatment, multiple surgeries, infection risk, permanent disfigurement, and lasting emotional trauma. Valuing these claims means accounting for future medical care, scarring, and lost earning capacity – the long-term damages insurers try hardest to minimize.
Common causes of burn injuries
- Car, truck, and motorcycle fires after a crash
- Defective products, appliances, and batteries
- Workplace and construction-site accidents
- Electrical and chemical burns
- Apartment and building fires from unsafe conditions
Who can be held responsible?
Depending on how the burn happened, liable parties may include a negligent driver, a product manufacturer, a property owner, or an employer or third party at a worksite. Identifying every responsible party is essential to accessing the insurance coverage needed for a catastrophic injury. We investigate thoroughly to find every source of recovery.
