Burn injuries cause lasting physical damage, emotional trauma, and significant financial burden. At Mercer Legal Group, our attorneys represent victims throughout Los Angeles County and surrounding California areas. We hold negligent parties accountable and pursue possible compensation for your losses.
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.
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.
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 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.
Gas leaks, industrial accidents, and defective products can cause sudden explosions resulting in severe flash burns. These incidents often involve multiple liable parties.
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 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.
Our attorneys handle cases arising from car accidents, workplace incidents, defective products, and premises liability throughout Los Angeles and California. We investigate the circumstances of each case, identify all responsible parties, and pursue every available legal avenue that may lead to compensation.
We work with burn specialists, reconstructive surgeons, and rehabilitation experts to document the full scope of your injuries. Our team handles all communication with insurance carriers while you focus on healing.
