Burn Injury Attorney in Sarasota

A burn injury can impact your quality of life as well as your ability to do your job. Although you can’t eliminate the possibility of accidents, you can take precautionary steps to reduce your risk of a burn injury. One of these steps is understanding why burn injuries happen.

Here are a few potential causes of burn injuries:

• Hot water or steam
• House fire (if due to landlord negligence)
• Broken or missing smoke detectors or fire extinguishers
• Commercial kitchen grease fire
• Electrical fire from faulty wiring

Regardless of your tolerance for pain, burn injuries can have long-lasting effects. Even a mild burn can lead to conditions like:

• Blisters
• Scarring
• Disfiguration
• Long-term pain or discomfort
• Nerve damage

Burn injuries can affect your appearance, your general comfort, and even your earning capacity. They can also become infected, which puts you at risk for further health problems and longer recovery times.

The first person you should call after sustaining an injury is a medic, but in many cases, the second person should be an attorney. Here’s a brief overview of what we can do to help:

1. Investigate the incident
2. Assess your injury
3. Evaluate damages
4. Negotiate with the defense
5. Build a case for trial

If the defense agrees to a fair settlement, there’s no need to go to trial. Our fee comes as a percentage of the favorable settlement or trial winnings.
