Serious and Debilitating Burn Injuries

There are many causes of burn injuries and fatal burns: work-related accidents, construction accidents, defective products, fires at home or work, and explosions. Our burn injury lawyers understand the pain and suffering that can be a part of your recovery process. We know that the financial impact, mental anguish and physical costs of recovery can be devastating.

Burns may affect large portions of the total body surface area (TBSA) and result in severe scarring, severe nerve damage and loss of limbs. Extensive burn injuries can require months - sometimes years - of hospitalization, surgical skin grafts, attendant care and rehabilitation. Often, extensive counseling is necessary to deal with the mental trauma that the severely burned confront in dealing with the effects of their injury.

We work with injured clients who have been treated and continue to be treated at some of southern California's top burn centers, including:

  • Southern California Regional Burn Center in Los Angeles
  • University of California, San Diego (UCSD) Burn Center
  • Grossman Burn Center in Santa Ana
  • Leon S. Peters Burn Center in Fresno
  • Colie's Burn Center in Oakland
  • University of California, Davis Regional Burn Center in Sacramento

An insurer's bad faith in denying or delaying compensation in a burn injury case related to a fire, explosion or chemical burn injury makes a difficult recovery even more traumatic. Our attorneys understand the insurance, rehabilitation and medical treatment issues often involved in burn injury cases throughout California, Arizona and Nevada. Our goal is to help you get the full compensation you deserve for your pain and suffering, burns and scars, lost wages and other damages, either through a settlement or jury verdict.
