Our Burn Injury Practice

Our lawyers handle all types of personal injury claims, including:

• Second degree burns - In a second-degree burn, the underlying layer of skin also suffers damage. As a result, you may have blisters, in addition to the discoloration and swelling that come with first-degree burns. If not properly treated, however, a second-degree burn can become a third-degree burn.
• Third degree burns - With a third-degree burn, the hypodermis or innermost layer of skin is also damaged. Skin tissue and structures are often destroyed, resulting in slow healing and extensive scarring.
• Electrical fire burns - When equipment short circuits, or there is dangerously faulty wiring, a person can get burned when touching the appliance or outlet leading to severe burns.
• Chemical burns - Various chemicals can cause serious burns when coming into contact with the skin. Persons who suffer such burns may have permanent scarring.
• Inhalation burns - Inhalation injuries can include trauma caused by heat, toxins or smoke.

Because of our commitment to meticulous preparation of every case, we are often able to settle burn injury and other personal injury claims at insurance policy limits. We have also obtained many substantial awards in burn injury cases, including:

• $4 million for a burn injury causing death, resulting from a defective fuel system on a motor vehicle
• $500,000 for a wrongful death caused by a gas explosion and fire in an illegal rental unit
