Can I Pursue Financial Compensation for My Burn Injury?

Each burn injury case is unique and involves different circumstances, so we recommend contacting our qualified Glendale burn injury attorneys to learn if you may have a viable claim.

Most burn injury cases are filed under a theory of negligence. To establish a case for negligence, you must prove the following four factors:

• The defendant owed you a duty of care ”“ There was some legal duty the defendant had to you. For example, product manufacturers must produce safe products that do not present an unreasonable risk of harm. Your landlord also has a duty to follow fire-safety regulations.
• The defendant breached the duty of care ”“ The defendant violated his or her legal duty. Examples of this could include producing a dangerous product with a high risk of catching on fire. For example, maybe a household appliance caught on fire when it was used as intended.
• The breach was the cause of the victim’s harm ”“ The breach of duty must be directly linked to the actual harm that the victim suffered.
• You suffered damages ”“ You incurred medical expenses, lost wages or suffered physically or mentally because of the accident.

Since there is no cost to review your claim, it is often in a potential client’s best interests to contact an experienced personal injury attorney to schedule a free legal consultation. If we find you may have a case, you have no obligation to take legal action.

If you have questions about the potential value of our claim, call us today to speak to a qualified attorney and to learn more about how we can help you.

Burn injuries can be much more expensive than victims realize, when you factor in the long-term medical bills from the long-term pain and other symptoms caused by these serious injuries. Our attorneys know how to factor all of this in when calculating the value of a claim.

How Can Phillips Law Help Me?

Burn injuries often require multiple surgeries or expensive skin grafts to the burned portion of the body, which result in large medical bills. Additionally, some burn injuries are so severe that a person may not be able to return to work for a significant time, if ever.

During this difficult time, it is a good idea to discuss possible legal options with a licensed attorney with a history of recovering compensation for injury victims in Arizona and extensive knowledge of the law.

Some of the personal injury attorneys at Phillips Law have lectured for the State Bar of Arizona and educated other lawyers on personal injury matters. We put our knowledge on personal injury law to work to assist our clients in all aspects of their case, including conducting an investigation, collecting admissible evidence relevant to the case and preparing all necessary legal filings. We can also handle settlement negotiations or fight for your full recovery in court.

What is the Deadline for Filing a Burn Injury Claim?

There is a two-year statute of limitations in Arizona for personal injury claims, including burn injury claims (Arizona Revised Statutes 12-542). However, there are exceptions to this time limit. For example, if a government entity was responsible for your injuries, your timeline to file a lawsuit is much shorter.

Since each case is unique, we recommend contacting our licensed Glendale burn injury attorneys so we can determine the time limits that may apply to your claim. You can fill out afree case evaluation formto schedule your free consultation.

How Burn Injuries are Categorized

Burn injuriesare put in the following categories:

• First-degree burns ”“ These are superficial burns that only affect the outer layer of skin. There are no blisters. The site of the burn may be red and painful.
• Second-degree burns ”“ These burns affect the outer layer of skin and part of the skin’s lower layer, called the dermis. Individuals with these painful burns often have blisters, and the burn site may be red and swollen.
• Third-degree burns ”“ These burns are full thickness burns that destroy the outer layer of skin and the dermis. Some impact the tissue below the skin. The burn site appears white, charred or blackened.
• Fourth-degree burns ”“ These are the most serious type of burn. They go through all of the skin layers and the underlying tissue and deeper tissue. Some go down to the muscle and bone. Fourth-degree burns destroy nerve endings so there is no sensation to the injured part of the body.

Severe burn injuries often require skin grafts, where healthy skin from somewhere else on the body is taken and placed over the burned skin. This can put you at risk for infections, nerve damage and intense pain. Some patients could have allergic reactions to anesthesia as well.

Common Causes of Burn Injuries

Generally, there are four main types of burns:

• Thermal burns ”“ These burns are caused by contact with fire or other sources of extreme heat.
• Chemical burns ”“ Chemical burns are caused when a person comes into contact with a toxin like acid or a chemical explosion.
• Radiation burns ”“ These burns are formed by contact with nuclear radiation and radioactive materials.
• Light burns ”“ This category of burns is caused by sunlight or UV rays.

These burns can be caused by a variety of things, including the following:

What Should You Do After an Accident?

If you suffer a burn injury, it is important that you take quick action. If you have suffered a first or second-degree burn, you may be able to complete some basic first aid before seeking medical attention. This can help prevent infection to the area. Wound treatment includes:

• Soaking the wound in cool water for five minutes or longer
• Applying burn relief cream to the skin
• Using antibiotic ointment and loose gauze to protect the affected area

Avoid using ice, butter or eggs on the affected area as this can make the damage worse. Do not apply cotton balls to the burned area either.

As your wound heals, you will likely need to keep the area clean and put clean bandages on the area to prevent infection.

If you suffer a third- or fourth-degree burn, do not attempt any treatment and call 9-1-1 immediately. Seek medical attention and follow all your doctor’s orders. As your burn heals, take pictures of each stage of your recovery to document the healing process.

When in pain because of an accident all you want to do is focus on getting better and that is what did thanks to this firm. My family and I were set up with a Dr and Chiro right away. The treatment we received was great. I am extremely thankful for all the help we received and the outcome on the cases. Thanks to everyone involved on my case. A special thanks the intake specialist Rosalba who was very kind on the phone when I first called. I highly recommend this firm to anyone, they treat you like family.

I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

What can I say about Phillips Law group. I was involved in a major car accident and sustained injuries. I looked up for Law Firms in Arizona and stumbled across Phillips Law Group. I decided to give them a call about my accident, and they were very respectful and took in my case immediately. They assigned me Tim LeDuc to represent me. From the beginning, he was very responsive and made sure to give me the proper care I deserved from this accident. Him and his team fought tooth and nail to give me the best settlement I deserved. I am so thankful, and I highly recommend Phillips Law Group to represent anyone who has been in any accident and...

My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...

Renae M.

When visiting Arizona my husband and I were driving through an intersection when a car ran a red light and tboned us. I hit my head on the window and later found out I had a concussion and whip lash. I wasn’t sure how to navigate a car accident and called Phillips based on their good reviews. My attorney and his paralegal were with me every step of the way and ensured my healing process was the top priority. After many treatments and 14 months later I finally feel better, not 100% but in much better condition. Philips was able to get me compensated for my medical and for ongoing medical expenses, without them I never would have recouped medical...
