Severe burns require years of treatment — surgeries, skin grafts, rehabilitation, compression garments, and ongoing pain management. The medical costs alone can be overwhelming. We fight to make sure burn victims get the long-term compensation they need to recover.
A severe burn injury isn't one surgery — it's dozens. Initial debridement, skin grafts, reconstructive surgeries, physical therapy, occupational therapy, compression garments replaced every few months, scar revision surgeries years later, and ongoing pain management. We work with burn attorneys to calculate the full lifetime cost.
Burns cause profound psychological trauma — PTSD, depression, anxiety, body image issues, and social withdrawal. Many burn victims can't return to their previous occupation. We include psychological treatment costs, lost earning capacity, and diminished quality of life in every burn case valuation.
Insurance companies want to settle burn cases based on the first round of medical bills. But burn treatment continues for years — sometimes decades. We use life care planners, burn surgeons, and economists to project the true cost and refuse to settle until the number reflects reality.
We represent burn victims injured in industrial explosions and refinery fires, chemical burns from workplace exposure, electrical burns from contact with power lines or faulty wiring, scalding burns from defective products, vehicle fire burns following car and truck accidents, and residential fires caused by negligence or defective products.
Burn severity is classified by degree: first-degree burns affect the outer skin, second-degree burns penetrate deeper causing blisters and scarring, and third-degree burns destroy all layers of skin and may damage muscle and bone. Fourth-degree burns — the most catastrophic — extend through skin into tendons, muscle, and bone. Each level requires progressively more intensive and expensive treatment.
The total cost of a severe burn injury can exceed millions over a lifetime when you account for acute care, reconstructive surgeries, rehabilitation, adaptive equipment, home modifications, lost income, and psychological treatment. Insurance companies know this — which is why they push for early settlements before victims understand the full scope of their injuries.
