Burn Injuries

Serious burns from fires, explosions, chemicals, or third-party negligence.

Severe burns are among the most painful injuries there are. They require grafts, reconstructive surgeries, and years of treatment — and they leave physical and emotional scars that stay with a person for life.

When a burn was caused by someone else's negligence — a fire from faulty wiring, a workplace explosion, a dangerous product, mishandled chemicals — those responsible must answer for the full cost of your recovery.

Cases we handle

  • Apartment and building fires caused by negligence
  • Workplace explosions and fires
  • Chemical burns
  • Defective products that cause fires
  • Electrical burns
  • Scalding from dangerously hot liquids

What to do if this happened to you

  1. 1

    Get specialized treatment — ask for a referral to a burn unit if it's serious.

  2. 2

    Document how it happened: place, cause, witnesses.

  3. 3

    Keep the product, clothing, or related evidence if possible.

  4. 4

    Photograph how your injuries evolve during treatment.

  5. 5

    Talk to an attorney before speaking with insurers or the responsible company.
