Personal Injury Cases Arising From Fire and Burn Injuries

I have recently had substantial experience handling burn injury cases and have learned that cases are very unique.  Not only are the injuries very painful, but they are also disfiguring and in many cases permanently limit physical ability.

Just as it is important that a burn victim receive immediate medical attention, it is also important that the person injured and burned receive immediate and aggressive legal attention.  Due to the nature of the burn injury, it is critical that evidence is developed and preserved from the very beginning.  Quick investigation and proactive medical treatment and documentation of the injury is required.

We work with the top fire safety experts in the field, as well as the top burn centers around the country.  Our experience in handling burn injury cases has taught us not only the science behind how and why the fire started, but also where the best treatment for such injuries can be provided.  We ensure that we not only recover every penny for our clients, but we also ensure that our clients receive the best medical care possible.

If you have been burned in a fire, whether it was a vehicle fire, house fire, industrial fire and explosion, we hope that you contact a lawyer as soon as possible.  In addition, we suggest that you take photographs of the burn injury, as well as video of the burn victim.  In cases of arson, you need to fully cooperate with arson investigators in an effort to bring the arsonist to justice.  Your lawyer should immediately start an investigation of the fire using forensic fire investigators.  If investigation is not performed quickly, you may forever loose helpful evidence.

Lastly, burn injuries are very traumatic injuries.  Burns cause extreme pain, permanent loss of mobility, permanent scarring, infections, immune difficulties, and psychological harm.  For this reason, burn cases typically carry significant value.  We never settle a burn case for less than full value and we prepare from the very beginning to take the case all the way through trial.  Our approach has yielded significant results in every burn injury case that we have handled.
