  • Vehicle fires and explosions
  • Defective products
  • Workplace accidents
  • Chemical exposure
  • Electrical accidents

  • First, Second, and Third-Degree Burns
  • Chemical Burns
  • Electrical Burns
  • Scarring and Disfigurement Claims
Real Outcomes

We don't settle just to close your case.

Case results depend on the specific facts of each case. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

Right After It Happens

What to Do After a Burn Injury

What you do in the first hours and days can shape what your case is worth. Here's what actually matters.

1

Get Immediate Medical Attention

Burns can be more serious than they first appear, and infection risk is high. Get treated right away.

2

Document the Injury as It Heals

Photograph the burn at each stage of treatment and healing — this documents both the immediate injury and any lasting scarring.

3

Preserve the Cause

If a defective product, vehicle, or equipment caused the burn, don't repair or discard it — it may be key evidence.

4

Avoid Recorded Statements

Insurance adjusters often ask for a recorded statement before you know the full extent of treatment you'll need. You're not obligated to give one.

5

Talk to an Attorney Before You Settle

Burn injuries often require follow-up surgeries months or years later. Don't settle before you know the real scope of your recovery.

What You May Be Entitled To

Compensation for Burn Injury Victims

A burn injury can cost more than the medical bills alone. Arizona law lets you pursue compensation for the full impact — not just whatever the insurance company offers first.

Medical Expenses

Hospital bills, surgeries, medications, physical therapy, and long-term care.

Lost Wages

Income lost while you recover, plus future earning capacity if the injury changes what you can do.

Pain and Suffering

Compensation for the physical pain and emotional toll the accident caused, not just the bills.

Property Damage

Vehicle repair or replacement, plus anything else damaged in the accident.

Punitive Damages

In cases of gross negligence — like drunk driving — additional damages meant to punish the at-fault party.

Know Your Rights

Arizona Law You Should Know

Two rules shape almost every burn injury claim in Arizona: how long you have to file, and what happens if fault isn't 100% clear-cut. Both usually work in your favor more than people assume.

2 Years
Statute of Limitations

Comparative Negligence

Arizona lets you recover damages even if you were partially at fault — your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, not eliminated. Don't assume you have no case just because fault isn't 100% clear-cut.

Don't Wait

In some cases, you may have as little as 6 months to file your complaint, and certain claims must settle within about a year. Start the process now instead of waiting and potentially missing out.

Questions

Frequently Asked Burn Injury Questions

How long do I have to file a burn injury claim in Arizona?

Arizona's statute of limitations for burn injury claims is two years from the date of the injury.

Does a settlement account for scarring, not just medical bills?

Yes. Scarring and disfigurement are compensable on their own, separate from your medical expenses — we make sure that's reflected in your claim.

What if I need more surgeries in the future?

We work with medical experts to project future surgical and treatment needs so you're not settling before you know the real cost of recovery.

What if I was partially at fault?

Arizona follows comparative negligence rules, meaning you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault — your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, not eliminated.

Do I need an attorney for a burn injury claim?

Burn cases often involve multiple parties (a driver, a manufacturer, a property owner) and years of treatment. There's no cost to find out where you stand.
