Tolleson Burn Injury Lawyer

On top of being uniquely painful injuries, severe burns — especially ones stemming from traumatic accidents that you did nothing to cause — can be both physically and psychologically debilitating. Unfortunately, there is only so much that financial compensation alone can do to remedy the kinds of losses that a permanent and disfiguring injury like this can cause. However, you still deserve restitution for the harm you have unfairly sustained, and you may need to be proactive and decisive about pursuing it.

That is where the legal experience and expertise of a Tolleson burn injury lawyer from Phillips Law Group can be invaluable for you and your entire family. We have been locally owned and operated for over 30 years and are not afraid to go to court on behalf of the people we represent, and once retained, our catastrophic injury attorneys can make getting you the recovery you deserve our top priority.

Recovering for Different “Degrees” of Burns

Part of what makes burn injury claims so unique is how much the financial value of this type of case can change depending on the severity of the burn in question. On the lower end of the scale, first-degree burns affecting only the outer skin layer may not be severe enough to need professional medical treatment and therefore not severe enough to serve as grounds for a civil lawsuit.

Conversely, second-degree burns which penetrate multiple skin layers very often require professional medical care and may result in long-term scarring and disfigurement, and third-degree burns which destroy multiple skin layers to damage underlying muscle and fat tissues can be life-threatening in many situations even with emergency surgical intervention. Fair financial recovery for these sorts of burns may require demanding compensation for things like lost future earning capacity, years of rehabilitative treatment, and various forms of physical and emotional suffering — all of which a Tolleson burn injury attorney can help incorporate into a comprehensive settlement demand or lawsuit.

Getting Around Legal and Procedural Roadblocks

Legal counsel can also help burn victims navigate efficiently around the various obstacles that state law may put in their way along the road to civil recovery. For example, a burn accident lawyer in Tolleson can take the lead in contesting allegations made by a defendant that a burn victim is partially at fault for causing their own injury through their own negligence, which could otherwise lead to that injured person’s damage award being reduced in accordance with the “pure comparative negligence” system codified in Arizona Revised Statutes §12-2505.

Likewise, help from legal representation can be crucial not only to building a strong claim but also to building and then filing that claim quickly. This is important because of the statute of limitations set out in A.R.S. §12-542, which allows virtually all personal injury victims — even those dealing with permanent and debilitating injuries — just two years maximum to file suit after initially sustaining harm.

Phillips Law Group made dealing with our auto accident easy. They always had our best interest in mind and made sure that we were happy with treatment before finalizing anything. Our Paralegal, Amy Wagner, is amazing! She checked in on us throughout the entire process to make sure our treatments were going well and that we were getting better, getting healthy was first priority. She kept us informed on the progress of our case every step of the way and was very prompt with either calling or emailing us back with any questions that we had. We are very satisfied with our experience with Phillips Law Group, and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of representation!

I never thought it could happen to me, I had heard about it on the news, but truly never thought it could happen to me. I was rear ended by a drunk driver. I was lost on what to do. My car insurance company would give no directions, I and my grandson were injured, my little pick- up was smashed, I was not the one who was at fault, but I felt like I was because I could get no help on what to do! You would think that your car insurance company would at least point you in the right direction. So, I contacted Phillips Law Group, I truly never ever thought I would need the help they provided...

I just wanna say that I’m young and have never had an incident needing something like Philips law and I’m glad I went with them. After my accident I was paralyzed with stress on how am I gonna recover from this what do I do, but they literally took majority if not all the worry away. I really only went to my appointments and kept them updated as much I can and eventually helped me win my case. It was a quick process as well for receiving compensation very grateful. Thank you!

One of the best experiences I have ever had dealing with a accident attorneys. They made me feel welcomed. They definitely listened to me and help guide me through this process with ease. There was no surprises and they made sure I was taken care of every step of the way. The best phone I made the night of my accident and God forbid any other accidents come my way but if so they will definitely be my very first call again. Best law group In PHX.

I want to say for this being my first accident and unclear on what to do. They were amazing, from communication and making sure you have everything you need. The other insurance was giving me a hard time with my rental, I called my attorney at Philips Law Group and they made sure I had a vehicle to get around. They made sure I got the best care with amazing staff. They handle my case with care and at the end they still make sure I am okay. I appreciate you guys for not taking advantage of me and putting me first. It was not about the money but making sure I had everything I need and what was owed...

Maria Cionci and Paulina Nava are wonderful people that truly care about their clients. I have a lot of respect for how they conduct themselves in general, but especially how they graciously assist their injured clients. If you have been injured in an automobile collision, call and ask for their assistance. You won't be disappointed!

Darren M.

I feel that I was truly blessed to find the Phillips Law Group after being involved in a bad car accident. My attorney and the staff were professional and very supportive. The firm provided compassion and sound legal advice while we navigated my insurance claim. I highly recommend giving them a call if you are involved in an accident with bodily injuries. The firm set me up with healthcare providers and really went the extra mile to help me with my case. I’m happy with my settlement and for all of their help.

Tea J.

Aaron my attorney and Jasmine my paralegal were great. Throughout the settlement process, Jasmine did a great job of keeping me in the loop of everything going on. It is a long process but being reassured during the process was helpful. Throughout the process I was provided a chiropractor and physical therapist and they all made sure that I was taken care of and feeling better before releasing me. I was also provided a trauma therapist. Though I still think about the accident and struggle here and there, my therapist did a great job of giving me the help i needed in the months following the accident. I hope to never go through this again but if need be, I...

Amazing Law Firm after getting the run around from the Insurance companies, I decided to call Phillips Law Group and initially spoke with Randy he was so helpful and kind, he truly cared about my situation and was explaining to me everything about what typically happens after an Accident....It just so happened to be exactly what I was dealing with. I felt at ease during our conversation like a weight had been lifted and at that point, I knew I made the right decision contacting them, and shortly there after I retained their services. I was contacted by my Attorney and Case manager within and hour and they assured me all my needs would be met - helping me with...

Having never been in automobile wreck before, I found myself in uncharted territory. Thankfully I ended up choicing Phillips Law Group. They took charge of my case! I want to especially acknowledge McKenna, my case manager. Without her listening -- to my good days as well some bad days due to injuries -- I would have been lost. If you ever need a Law firm, think about talking to Phillips Law Group. You won't be sorry.

Matt S.

I had a fantastic experience during a difficult time. In particular, my paralegal Brittany was extremely helpful and answered all of my questions in a timely manner and made the process very smooth. I would definitely recommend.
