Phoenix Burn Injury Attorney

A burn injury lawyer understands that burns are some of the worst injuries that a human can endure. Burns can cause extreme pain, serious infections, permanent disfigurement, and death. As a result, burn survivors may endure years of reconstructive surgeries, treatments, and rehabilitative therapies.

Many severe burns stem from the negligent, reckless, or intentional actions of others. If you believe someone else carelessly or recklessly caused your serious burn injuries, the Phoenix personal injury lawyers at Gallagher & Kennedy can help. Contact us about your case by calling (602) 530-8400 or visiting us online. Schedule a consultation with us for free.

How a Phoenix Burn Injury Lawyer Can Help

Significant burn injuries can lead to immense pain and suffering, emotional duress, and uncertainty about your personal and professional future. You may have to undergo multiple surgeries or live with permanent loss of mobility after a burn injury. In addition, your medical condition can lead to a precarious financial situation for you and your family, as you may be unable to work temporarily or even permanently.

A Phoenix burn injury attorney from Gallagher & Kennedy can prosecute your case against the person or entity that negligently or intentionally caused your burn injuries. Using our skills, knowledge, and experience, we can maximize your odds of securing a settlement, verdict, or award in your case. Our objective is to help you achieve financial stability during a difficult time in your life.

Common Causes of Burn Injuries

Burn injury victims can experience four different types of burns: thermal, chemical, electrical, and radiation. Thermal burns are the most common types of burns, which occur when a person has contact with flames, steam, hot metals, or other objects.

All types of burns can cause first- to third-degree tissue damage. First-degree burns typically do not cause permanent scars, while third-degree burns can lead to scarring, disfigurement, and amputations. Various accidents can cause burn injuries, including:

According to the American Burn Association, 486,000 people required medical treatment for their burns in 2016. Unfortunately, burn injuries trace back to another party’s errors, poor decision-making, or intentional actions to harm others. When this situation occurs, you have the right to seek compensation for your losses.

As the victim of a bad burn injury in Arizona, you can take steps to protect your rights by talking to a lawyer from Gallagher & Kennedy. We can investigate your recent accident for signs of someone else’s negligence, carelessness, or malicious wrongdoing. We can use this evidence to build a case against that party to pursue compensation for you and your family.

Damages Available After Burn Injuries

The damages you suffer because of a burn injury can be significant. In our years helping our personal injury clients, we have represented victims with tens of millions of dollars in medical bills (past and future), totaled vehicles, burned-down houses, permanent scarring, and lost wages. We also have represented families who have lost their loved ones to an accident involving burn injuries. We have obtained six-, seven-, and eight-figure results on behalf of seriously injured clients with life-changing economic and noneconomic losses.

Our Phoenix burn injury lawyers work hard to achieve the best possible results for each client using personalized legal services. According to state law, we will listen to your story, help you identify the responsible parties, and file your civil claim. If settlement negotiations fail, we are not afraid to go up against insurance companies or major corporations in court.
