Burn Injuries

Pursing Compensation for Burn Injury Victims

Burns are among the most serious and most painful type of injury, with the longest recovery time and the highest incidence of permanent disfigurement and lifestyle altering changes.

If you or a loved one has suffered a burn injury, particularly one caused by a defective product, automobile accident, accidental electrocution, or industrial accident caused by a third party, you need an effective and experienced personal injury lawyer to obtain fair, just and reasonable financial compensation.

Money cannot take away the pain or the scarring, but it can provide, financial security and the stability to allow the burn victim to focus on the healing process.

A Representative Case: A California power plant employee was injured in a conveyor belt accident caused by a third party, suffering third and fourth-degree burns over 30% of his body, an amputation and brain trauma during his medical care. The plaintiff received a $6 million settlement in a defective product liability case.

One of the most important aspects of burn injury litigation is to understand it is not simply a personal injury case. Recovery is long, and there is usually a resulting permanent disability. As your lawyer, I am mindful of the full impact of the injury not only to the burn victim but also on the spouse, family members and other caregivers.

My office is located in downtown San Diego. The types of burn injuries for which I can provide personal injury representation include:

  • Electrocution burns from power lines, faulty electrical wiring or other electrical sources
  • Burns suffered in a workplace injury as a result of the non-employer (third-party conduct), a product defect or an independent contractor's negligence
  • Car accident burns related to a gas tank explosion
  • Burns which result in wrongful death
