Burn Injury

Philadelphia Burn Injury Lawyers

A serious burn injury is painful and can have long-lasting physical and emotional effects. Burn injury victims may need intense medical treatment including skin grafts, amputations and other complex surgeries. In addition, they may not be able to resume work for a long time, if at all.

When someone is seriously burned as the result of the negligence or carelessness of another party, the injured victim has a right to compensation for the losses caused by the injury. Damages in a burn injury claim can include medical expenses, therapy costs, wage loss, permanent disfigurement, disability, pain, emotional suffering, and other damages. The burn injury lawyers at Edelstein Martin & Nelson understand the medical aspects of burns and the extensive treatment and surgery that burn injury victims often need.

Our Philadelphia law firm has helped many people with serious burn injuries obtain the financial resources they need to make as full a recovery as possible. In cases that have resulted in death, we work to obtain compensation for the surviving family members. While these funds can never fully replace what has been lost, they can provide the starting point for the physical, emotional and financial recovery of the victim or victim's family.

Help for Industrial, Residential, and Vehicular Burn Injury Victims

We also have extensive experience in a wide range of negligent burn accidents, including those involving accidents in manufacturing facilities, defective household products, motorcycle accidents, and others. Burn injuries can also be caused by explosions, electrocution, and chemical ingestion.

Fires, of course, are a major cause of burn injuries and can be caused by faulty wiring, old heating systems, and defective appliances. In other cases, minor fires get out of control because there was not a working smoke detector, fire extinguisher or sprinkler system. A fire, which results in serious burns or death, can occur almost anywhere - in a factory, at home, in a car, or elsewhere. While the medical aspects of these injuries are similar, the chain of events and liability aspects of these accidents can be very different.

Our attorneys know how to investigate fire claims and understand the engineering and technical aspects of these accidents. We work to build a strong and convincing case for compensation in every case.
