Burn Injuries Are Not Always Accidental

If you are hurt, the first step is to get better. We can help you locate medical treatment in your area that specializes in burn victim care. Treatment is different depending on whether the burns were caused by fire or as a result of exposure to caustic chemicals

If the injuries were caused by a structural fire, the first step in any fire investigation is to find the area of origin of the fire. Once it's located, our experts will determine what the cause of the fire was.

Physical evidence is key in a burn case. If the fire was started by a defective device, or if there are burned electrical parts, evidence needs to be collected and protected.

We can help you file an insurance claim and negotiate payment for your damages including lost wages, pain & suffering and medical bills. 

If the insurance company drags its feet, we know how to hold them accountable in court. Filing a lawsuit is the first step in the litigation process against responsible parties. 

If necessary, we will take those responsible to trial and prove our case before a jury. 

Burns can cause the skin to become dry and leathery. Severe burns can cause lesions, bleeding and other significant skin damage.

If a burn is severe enough, it can affect the nerves surrounding the burned tissues. Common signs of nerve damage are shooting pains and pain in areas not directly affected by burning. 

If nerve damage is extensive or severe, it can cause permanent loss of feeling or paralysis. The most advanced burn injury cases usually involve some permanent loss of feeling the affected areas. 

Burn injuries often result in infections during the wound care stage. Any open skin wound can develop an infection depending on the person. Proper medical care is required to avoid and treat infections caused by burns.
