Burn Injury

A burn injury is unlike other types of serious workplace injuries. Not only is an injured worker in pain, he or she often has to deal with scars, disfigurement and emotional trauma for a lifetime. Not only do burn victims often require multiple surgeries and skin grafts, they will often need professional counseling to overcome the trauma of being burned.

At Fenner & Boles, we are dedicated to helping employees who suffered serious burns at work get the full compensation they need for a lifetime of care. We can help you understand your rights under workers' compensation and give you the legal help needed to recover.

Workplace Accidents that Cause Serious Burns

On-the-job accidents that cause severe burns can happen in any job setting:

• A defective power tool starts on fire or sparks and catches a worker's clothes on fire
• Accidental contact with harsh chemicals, or chemicals are spilled on a worker, causing chemical burns
• Employees are trapped inside an office building, warehouse or downed airplane, resulting in severe burns
• A worker is electrocuted by contact with overhead power lines or a defective tool, causing electrical burns

The trauma of severe burns lasts a lifetime, both for the injured worker who may be unable to work, walk or function normally and the worker's family. Our attorneys work hard to get burn victims the compensation they need so they can focus on recovering from their personal injury.

The most serious burns - third-degree burns - often result in loss of feeling or function, infection that requires amputation, and extreme pain as the skin tries to heal. Burn victims often need years of therapy and rehabilitation, multiple skin grafts, and full-time nursing care.

Your employer may say the accident was your fault and refuse to pay. Our lawyers are ready and able to help you protect your right to workers' compensation for chemical burns, electrocution, or other serious job accident burns.
