Common Causes of Burn Injuries
House Fires
A house fire and the injuries it causes can devastate families. After a fire, survivors often face physical, financial, and emotional hardship that can last a lifetime. We cannot replace what was lost, but our legal team can help compensate you for medical bills, loss of income, and pain and suffering.
Car Fires
Many vehicle fires are caused by a manufacturer defect or improper repairs. Our firm has experience in fighting for the victims of preventable car fires and pursuing compensation for their catastrophic injuries.

E-cigarettes & Vaporizers
E-cigarettes and their batteries can sometimes explode. This can happen when they’re being used or while they’re in your pocket. These explosions can cause serious damage requiring months or years of recovery. If you or a loved one has been injured, contact our burn injury lawyers immediately.
Common Complications from Burns
Infections
Infections are a dangerous complication of burns. They can cause further damage to your body and require medical treatment.
Scarring
Severe burns often result in scarring and disfigurement. These complications can last a lifetime and cause long-lasting pain and emotional distress.
Surgeries
In many cases of severe burns, painful skin graft surgical procedures are needed to treat the affected areas. These procedures may cause additional pain and result in additional medical bills.
Emotional Distress
Recovering from injuries suffered in an explosion or fire can take a very long time. Many people never fully recover. This may cause severe distress in survivors of burn injuries, especially when paired with the loss of their home, car, or loved ones.
FAQs on Explosion & Burn Injuries
How quickly should I speak to a lawyer after I’ve suffered from a burn injury?
You should speak with a lawyer as soon as you can after a fire. Insurance companies retain teams of attorneys and investigators to begin their defense within hours of any incident. You’ll want a qualified lawyer on your side as soon as possible. Call us today if you’ve been harmed in an explosion or fire.
How much is my burn injury case worth?
Every fire or explosion is different. There’s no simple rule to determine the monetary worth of each case. Compensation for injuries can include recovery for medical bill payment, injury treatment not covered by insurance, income loss, pain and suffering, as well as any payments for property damage. Call us for a free case evaluation and we can help determine the expected worth of your injury case.
How much does it cost to hire a burn injury attorney?
You don’t pay any legal fees until we win or settle your burn injury case. We review your case for free, and there is no deposit or advance fee required. When a settlement or verdict is reached, then our legal fee is calculated at a percentage (usually one-third) of the total amount awarded. This is called a contingent fee agreement, which is how most personal injury lawyers are paid. So, call us for a free consultation.
