Burn Injury Cases We Handle

Grossman Roth Yaffa Cohen fights for victims and families in matters involving life-altering accidents. Much of our work involves catastrophic injuries and wrongful death claims pursued by families who have suffered tragic losses.

Our team of nationally recognized trial lawyers have devoted their careers to civil litigation in cases involving the types of negligent acts and accidents that can lead to severe or fatal burns. This includes:

  • Explosions and fires
  • Industrial accidents / workplace accidents
  • Defective products and auto defects
  • Commercial truck accidents and car wrecks
  • Maritime accidents and explosions / oil rig explosions
  • Electrical accidents
  • Construction accidents
  • Chemical burns
  • Unexpected burns in the operating room
  • Aviation accidents
  • Gas leaks and inadequate property maintenance (premises liability)

Burn injuries often have life-long consequences, as well as a long, painful path to recovery. In severe burn cases, victims may face:

  • Extensive emergency care, including breathing and feeding tubes, dialysis, and life-support
  • Multiple surgeries, skin grafts, and reconstruction procedures
  • Extensive physical rehabilitation and therapy
  • Extended periods of lost income, diminished earning capacity, or total disability
  • Scarring and disfigurement
  • Permanent impairment, vision loss, paralysis, and organ damage

How Burn Injury Lawyers Help Build a Strong Case

Burn injury claims often require fast and detailed investigation. At GRYC, we focus on uncovering what happened, how it happened, and who is responsible. Depending on the case, this may include examining:

  • The incident scene and any available documentation
  • Product safety issues and defect history (when products are involved)
  • Safety procedures, policies, and compliance failures
  • Evidence showing negligence, unsafe conditions, or preventable hazards
  • The full scope of harm and long-term needs

Our goal is to pursue compensation that reflects the real cost of catastrophic injury—not just what’s obvious in the early days after an accident.

Potentially Responsible Parties in Burn Injury Claims

Liability depends on how the burn occurred. Burn injuries may involve responsibility by:

  • Property owners or operators (unsafe premises, inadequate maintenance, gas leaks, fire hazards)
  • Manufacturers or sellers (defective products, auto defects, unsafe components)
  • Employers or contractors (workplace hazards, industrial incidents, construction-related events)
  • Other negligent individuals or entities (accidents leading to fires, explosions, or electrical injury)

    If you’re unsure who is responsible, that’s common— Leave it up to us to investigate.

Compensation in Severe Burn Injury Cases

Burn injuries can create massive financial and personal losses. A claim may seek compensation related to:

  • Medical care and treatment needs (including future care)
  • Loss of income and reduced earning ability
  • Pain, suffering, and emotional trauma
  • Disfigurement and long-term impairment
  • Other life-altering impacts tied to catastrophic injury

Every case is different, and the value of a claim depends on the facts and the long-term consequences involved.

Burn Injury Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have a case if the burn happened at work?
Workplace burns may involve multiple legal paths depending on what caused the injury and who was responsible. If your employer is found to be responsible, then you may have a workers compensation claim against your employer, however if a 3rd party is responsible, you may be entitled to pursue civil remedies, if you are unsure about your particular circumstances contact us!

What if a defective product caused the burn?
Burn injuries involving products may require investigating defects and preventable safety failures. If it is determined that the product in question is defective and the cause of the injuries or damage, then the manufacturer may be responsible and held accountable.

How long do I have to take action?
Time limits do apply in these cases. Speaking with a lawyer early helps preserve evidence and protect your rights and ensures your rights are timely asserted and preserved.
