Burn Injuries

Burn Injury Lawyer

The physical and emotional consequences of being in a fire are huge. The financial cost is equally large, as many fire victims require multiple skin grafts, plastic surgeries, and a lengthy hospital stay. At Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C., our attorneys have been assisting clients since 1981 with claims for burn injuries. We help people receive compensation for injuries from fires, explosions, and chemical exposure. Recently, we have helped a client obtain a pre-trial settlement in excess of 7 million dollars for her burn related injuries.

From house fires to petrochemical explosions

We have helped people who have been burned as well as survivors grieving over the wrongful death of a family member in a fire. Our clients include those injured in:

  • House fires, often linked to removal of smoke detectors
  • Car fires caused by defective gas tanks and heaters
  • Petrochemical industry explosions
  • Truck fires
  • Chemical exposure incidents
  • Welding torch malfunctions
  • Electrical fires

Gas Explosions - fires can be caused by arson, defective products, code violations, and industrial and construction site explosions. Injuries range from lung damage caused by smoke inhalation to first-degree burns. Extensive skin grafts and rehabilitation are usually required. Victims may be unable to work or enjoy their previous activities even after an extensive recovery period.

Our attorneys have the financial resources and experience to handle major fire and explosion cases. We were involved with helping survivors of the families of those who perished after the World Trade Center disaster, and volunteered as part of Trial Lawyers Care and have handled many other significant cases. We employ specialist investigators such as cause and origin experts to uncover the facts of the case and determine liability for the fire. We develop strategies that we try out in our in-house courtroom, exploring every possibility as we work to obtain maximum compensation for you.
