What is a Burn Injury?

A burn injury occurs when heat, chemicals, electricity, or radiation damages skin tissue and underlying structures. Burns range from minor first-degree injuries affecting only the outer skin layer to severe third-degree burns that destroy all skin layers and may damage muscle, fat, and bone. Severe cases often require extensive medical treatment including skin grafts, reconstructive surgery, and long-term rehabilitation.

Types of Burns We Handle

Thermal Burns

Contact with flames, hot surfaces, steam, or scalding liquids causes thermal burns. These injuries commonly occur in house fires, car accidents, workplace incidents, and restaurant settings.

Chemical Burns

Industrial chemicals, cleaning agents, and caustic substances cause chemical burns that continue damaging tissue until fully removed. Workers in manufacturing, construction, and cleaning industries face elevated risks.

Electrical Burns

Electrical current passing through the body causes internal tissue damage often more severe than visible external wounds. Construction workers and electricians face particular exposure to these hazards.

Explosion and Flash Burns

Gas leaks, industrial accidents, and defective products can cause sudden explosions resulting in severe flash burns. These incidents often involve multiple liable parties.

Why Legal Representation Matters

These claims involve complex medical documentation, liability investigations, and insurance negotiations. Treatment costs for severe burns can exceed hundreds of thousands of dollars. Future medical needs, lost earning capacity, and permanent disfigurement require expert evaluation to calculate proper compensation.

Insurance companies employ teams of adjusters and attorneys to minimize payouts. An experienced Los Angeles burn injury attorney levels the playing field by gathering evidence, consulting medical experts, and building a case that reflects the true value of your claim.

California Burn Injury Claims

 California law allows victims to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and permanent disfigurement. The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in California is generally two years from the date of injury. Acting promptly preserves evidence and protects your legal rights.

When I first contacted Simon, I was in a terrible personal state because of what I had endured.

Simon was attentive, responsive, professional, calm, and a real advocate. He helped me find the strength to use my words to express myself when I felt I had no voice.

He was realistic with me. Explained the process and ALWAYS had my best interest in mind.

I especially appreciated the way he conducted himself with the other attorneys who kept trying to make me feel bad about myself. Simon is going to speak up for you, represent you, and won’t let you be bullied. Simon will not back down!

I am so thankful Simon went to law school and was there for me when I needed him.

If you’re ever in need of a brilliant attorney to represent you I highly recommend Simon.

There aren’t enough words for me to express my gratitude to Simon and his team for helping me through the most difficult moment of my life.

When I initially shopped my case around, I got very discouraging responses from most of the firms that I reached out to. After I had already lost hope, Mercer Legal Group reached out to me and asked for me to send along everything I could pertaining to my situation. Simon then assured me that I *did* have a case, and for the next year, fought tirelessly to right the wrong that had been done to me.

I had absolutely no experience in legal matters whatsoever, and Simon stayed honest and direct with me while he patiently explained strategies, his logic behind decisions, and always kept my expectations grounded. Throughout the past year, he has also gone out of his way to remind me that what happened to me was genuinely wrong. It was a kind and needed reminder as we dealt with the other issues around my case. He worked hard to foster a trust between us, and I can say unequivocally that my trust was well-placed. He delivered above and beyond what I was hoping for.

I plan on recommending Mercer Legal Group to anyone seeking help with employment law. Above and beyond in dedication, professionalism, and empathy. I will forever be grateful to Simon and his team.

Simon is an excellent lawyer. Called the law firm not knowing anything on how to get started with a case and they explained everything. I explained my case to Simon and he told me he’d take care of everything and keep me updated. He kept me updated till the time came to settle the case and had an excellent outcome I’d recommend them to anyone who needs an ongoing case.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mercer Legal Group, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the outset, their professionalism and dedication were evident, transforming what could have been a daunting legal process into a journey marked by clarity and confidence.

Special commendation must go to Simon, my attorney, whose expertise and strategic acumen were instrumental in securing a favorable settlement for my case. Simon not only provided me with hope but consistently surpassed my expectations. His profound understanding of the law, combined with his relentless pursuit of justice, led to a victorious outcome that I had initially thought unattainable. His ability to navigate complex legal waters with such finesse was truly inspiring.

Equally deserving of praise is Javier, the paralegal who supported me throughout this ordeal. Javier's commitment to keeping me well-informed was invaluable. He demonstrated exceptional patience, accommodating my often challenging work schedule to ensure I was never out of the loop. His thoroughness and attentiveness made all the difference, providing me with peace of mind during what could have been a tumultuous time.

Mercer Legal Group, through the exemplary work of Simon and Javier, has not only met but exceeded the highest standards of legal practice. Their combined efforts have not only resulted in a successful case resolution but have also left me with a renewed faith in the legal profession. I wholeheartedly recommend Mercer Legal Group to anyone in need of legal representation that is both intellectually rigorous and deeply empathetic.
