Pursuing Compensation for Burn Injury Treatment
Second-degree and third-degree burns require specialized medical treatment from a regional burn center or any other treatment facility. Expensive burn treatment, such as skin grafts or plastic surgery may be necessary to replace or repair damaged skin tissue and reduce scarring. In addition, the most severe burn injuries can cause a limited range of motion, particularly if the affected area encompasses the shoulder, elbow, or hand, for example. Additional surgical treatment, as well as physical therapy, may be effective in increasing mobility in areas of damaged skin tissue.
Even with all the available burn injury treatments, pain management medication is necessary for many burn victims. The psychological impact of surviving a tragic accident as well as the turmoil caused by scarring and disfigurement may require long-term counseling for burn victims.
Our attorneys have a long-standing reputation for compassion and dedication to our clients. We comprehend the anguish our clients have gone through and continue to endure. We take a sincere interest in pursuing full, rightful compensation for all of their needs, including physical and emotional burn treatment, loss of income, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and other damages.
Types of Accidents Causing Burn Injuries
Devastating burn injuries can result from defective equipment that malfunctions, electrical fires, and a fire or explosion caused by the sheer impact of a car accident or commercial vehicle accident. Our Las Vegas personal injury practice encompasses virtually any type of serious accident.
Some of the accidents that more commonly result in severe burn injuries include:
- Helicopter crashes
- Car crashes and other motor vehicle accidents
- Trucking accidents
- Construction accidents

Electric Shock & Electrocution
Electricity is a powerful force that must be handled with great care. When contractors improperly install electrical boxes or a utility pole collapses due to inadequate maintenance, electrocution can occur, resulting in serious, even fatal, injuries.
Our firm assists people who have been electrocuted in personal injury situations involving:
- Exposed wiring
- Failure to turn off electricity
- Inadequate training
- Uninsulated wiring
- Substandard wiring
Whether you were electrocuted while using a hairdryer, toaster, or any other product that runs on electricity, or you were injured in a swimming pool with improperly grounded lights, our Las Vegas electrocution injury lawyers can help you hold the negligent parties responsible. Our attorneys also work with surviving family members in wrongful death cases caused by electrocution.
After gathering and evaluating all evidence, we will build a strong case in your favor. After understanding the full extent of your injury, we will aggressively pursue recovery for all available damages, which may include medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
If you or a loved one has been electrocuted, seek proper medical attention at once. While serious burns are generally immediately visible, other injuries may not surface as quickly. A physician can determine the full extent of your burn injury.
