Burn injuries can occur in many types of workplaces. Our attorneys have extensive experience with workplace burn accidents. If you were injured at work, you may be able to file a claim under South Carolina’s workers’ compensation system. Workers’ compensation allows workers to recover benefits whether the accident was caused by the employee or employer.

In addition, if a product manufacturer, contractor, or other third party was responsible for the incident, your attorney may be able to file a claim against the at-fault party to seek further compensation.

One of your attorney’s most important jobs is determining the total financial cost of your injuries. In most burn injury cases, we will attempt to recover some or all of the following types of damages:

• Medical costs, including past, present, and future expenses related to your burn injury
• Lost wages
• Loss of future earning potential
• Pain and suffering
• Punitive damages
• Funeral expenses (in cases of wrongful death)

Morgan & Morgan’s burn injury attorneys can guide your case from start to finish. Your attorney will investigate your case and gather and review evidence, including fire department and police reports. They will also review medical records and consult medical experts to determine the full financial cost of your injuries. Finally, your attorney may hire safety inspectors, electricians, or accident investigators to help determine the cause of the accident and establish who is liable.

Your attorney can also attempt to negotiate a settlement. However, if the insurance company or party at fault won’t pay the full amount you are owed, Morgan & Morgan has the resources and experience to take your case to trial and win.

If you or a loved one has suffered a burn injury, we will review your case for free — and if you hire us, you don’t pay anything unless we win.
