How we handle a burn injury case

  • Preserving the evidence.The product, packaging, receipts, incident reports, and video can be important, so we move early to preserve them.
  • Investigating the cause.We examine whether a dangerous condition, a defective product, or negligent service caused the burn, which can involve both premises and product-liability theories.
  • Documenting the harm.We coordinate the medical documentation, including scarring, disfigurement, and anticipated future care.
  • Identifying every responsible party.Responsibility may involve a business, a property owner, a manufacturer, or others depending on the facts.
  • Litigating when needed.We prepare cases to be filed and tried, including in federal court where appropriate.

Why burn injury cases are different

Burn cases can involve more than one legal theory at once, such as premises liability and product liability, and often involve lasting injuries like scarring and disfigurement and the need for future medical care. That makes preserving the evidence and documenting the full, long-term impact especially important. (Attorney to verify the applicable theories before publish.)

Holding businesses and manufacturers accountable

Behind a serious burn is often a business, a property owner, or a manufacturer and an insurer with an incentive to minimize the claim. We investigate the cause, preserve the evidence, and pursue full and fair compensation for the lasting harm.

Frequently asked questions

Can I sue over a hot beverage or food burn?

It depends on the facts, including whether the food or beverage was dangerously served or a dangerous condition or defective product was involved. A free consultation can help you understand your situation. (Attorney to confirm.)

What should I do after a serious burn injury?

Get medical attention right away, and if you can, keep the product and packaging, take photos of the injury and the scene, and report the incident. Keeping this evidence can matter, so it helps to speak with a lawyer early.

What can a burn injury claim seek to recover?

Depending on the case, an injury claim may seek compensation for medical expenses, future care, lost income, and the pain and impact of the injury, including scarring and disfigurement. (Attorney to confirm framing.)

How long do I have to file a claim in Georgia?

Georgia sets a limited window to file a personal-injury lawsuit, often two years from the date of injury, but exceptions can apply, so you should not wait to get advice. (Attorney to verify the deadline and exceptions before publish.)
