What is a Burn Injury?

A burn injury occurs when the skin or underlying tissues are damaged by heat, chemicals, electricity, radiation, or friction. Burns can vary in severity, from minor first-degree burns that heal quickly to life-threatening third- or fourth-degree burns that penetrate deep into muscles and bones. No matter the degree, burn injuries can cause significant pain and discomfort, requiring extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.

At Kemmy Law Firm, P.C., we understand the complexities involved in burn injury cases. Our team works tirelessly to ensure that victims receive the compensation they need to recover and rebuild their lives.

Common Types of Burn Injuries

Burn injuries can result from a wide range of circumstances. Some of the most common types of burns include:

  • Thermal Burns: Caused by direct contact with hot surfaces, liquids, or flames, such as in house fires, car accidents, or workplace incidents.
  • Chemical Burns: Result from exposure to hazardous chemicals, often occurring in industrial or laboratory settings.
  • Electrical Burns: Occur when an individual comes into contact with live electrical currents, which can cause internal and external injuries.
  • Friction Burns: Caused by the skin rubbing against a rough surface, commonly seen in motorcycle or bicycle accidents.
  • Radiation Burns: Result from exposure to harmful radiation, including UV rays from the sun or medical treatments like radiation therapy.

Long-Term Effects of Burn Injuries

The consequences of burn injuries often extend far beyond the initial physical pain. Victims may face:

  • Physical Scarring and Disfigurement: Severe burns can leave permanent scars or alter a person’s physical appearance.
  • Chronic Pain: Nerve damage and ongoing sensitivity can result in persistent pain.
  • Limited Mobility: Burns near joints or muscles may lead to reduced range of motion and long-term disability.
  • Emotional and Psychological Trauma: Many burn survivors experience depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
  • High Medical Costs: Ongoing treatments, including surgeries, skin grafts, physical therapy, and counseling, can create a significant financial burden.

At Kemmy Law Firm, P.C., we fight for compensation that accounts for all these long-term impacts, ensuring that our clients can focus on healing without the added stress of financial strain.

Who is Liable for a Burn Injury?

Determining liability in burn injury cases often requires a thorough investigation. Common liable parties include:

  • Property Owners: If unsafe conditions or building code violations caused the burn injury.
  • Employers: In cases of workplace burns, especially when safety protocols were ignored or equipment was faulty.
  • Manufacturers: If defective products or machinery led to the burn injury.
  • Other Drivers: In cases where vehicle accidents caused fires or burns.

Our experienced team will gather evidence, consult with experts, and build a strong case to identify and hold the responsible parties accountable.

Burn Injury Claim FAQs

How long do I have to file a burn injury claim in Texas?

Texas law generally gives injury victims two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, certain circumstances may affect this deadline, so it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule, which means you may still recover compensation if you were partially responsible, as long as you were less than 51% at fault. Your compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of fault.

How much is my burn injury case worth?

The value of a burn injury claim depends on many factors, including the severity of the injury, medical costs, lost wages, and long-term effects. An attorney can help assess the potential value of your case.

Do I need a lawyer for a burn injury claim?

While it is possible to file a claim without legal representation, burn injury cases can be complex. Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts, so having an experienced attorney can help protect your rights.
