We don&#8217;t. We take <strong>catastrophic burns that cause permanent injury, disfigurement, or death<\/strong>. These are the injuries that need special burn-center care. They change how a person lives, works, and looks for the rest of their life.<\/p>\n<p>You may have a claim if the injury involves:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Third- and fourth-degree (full-thickness) burns<\/strong> that need skin grafts, flap surgery, or reconstruction.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Deep burns<\/strong> that cause permanent scarring, nerve damage, or loss of function.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Amputation<\/strong> of a burned limb, hand, or finger.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inhalation or airway burns<\/strong>, high-voltage <strong>electrical burns<\/strong>, <strong>chemical burns<\/strong>, flame burns, and severe scald burns over a large part of the body.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wrongful-death cases<\/strong> where a loved one did not survive their burns. This is the most catastrophic outcome there is. We handle these cases with dignity, focused on the family left behind.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We are based in Florida and take burn cases nationwide. See our <a href=\"\/resources\/severe-burn-injuries\/\">severe burn injuries resource hub<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Depth and TBSA Drive Everything<\/h2>\n<p>Burn doctors measure two things. These two things also drive the value of a claim: <strong>how deep<\/strong> the burn goes and <strong>how much of the body<\/strong> it covers. That coverage is called total body surface area, or TBSA. Doctors estimate it with tools like the &#8220;rule of nines&#8221; used by the American Burn Association.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Third-degree (full-thickness)<\/strong> burns destroy the whole skin layer. This includes nerve endings and sweat glands. They will not heal without grafting.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fourth-degree<\/strong> burns reach into muscle, tendon, or bone. They often lead to amputation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By cause, the injuries we handle include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Thermal<\/strong> burns (fire, flames, hot surfaces)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Scald<\/strong> burns (hot liquids, steam)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Electrical<\/strong> burns<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chemical<\/strong> burns (acids, solvents, industrial products)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inhalation<\/strong> burns that damage the airway and lungs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Often, what makes a severe burn a lifelong condition is not the first wound. It is the complications that follow. These include <strong>infection and sepsis<\/strong>, <strong>contractures<\/strong> (tight scar tissue that freezes a joint), raised scars, chronic nerve pain, and years of surgeries and psychological care.<\/p>\n<p>A claim that ignores those future needs undervalues the injury. That is why we build cases around lifelong care, not a fast settlement.<\/p>\n<h2>How Severe Burns Happen and Who May Be Liable<\/h2>\n<p>Often more than one party is responsible. Finding every one of them is how a case gets fully valued.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Truck and vehicle crashes<\/strong> with fuel fires or explosions after a collision. See our <a href=\"\/resources\/truck-accidents\/\">truck accidents<\/a> page.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Workplace and industrial incidents<\/strong>, flash fires, arc-flash, and electrocution. Beyond workers&#8217; compensation, you may have a separate claim against a third party. That could be an equipment maker, a contractor, or a property owner.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Defective products<\/strong> \u2014 faulty wiring, appliances, vehicles, or <strong>lithium-ion batteries<\/strong> that overheat and catch fire. This is a known fire hazard the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission tracks and recalls.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Building fires, gas leaks, and unsafe property conditions.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>If You Were Attacked or Burned on Someone Else&#8217;s Property<\/h3>\n<p>Maybe you were assaulted, shot, robbed, or set on fire on property you didn&#8217;t control. This could be an apartment complex, a hotel or motel, a parking lot or garage, a bar, a gas station, or a store. If so, the owner may share the blame.<\/p>\n<p>Florida property owners owe visitors a duty to keep the property reasonably safe. That can include working locks and gates, good lighting, working cameras, and security staff where the risk calls for it.<\/p>\n<p>When an owner ignores an obvious danger and someone is seriously hurt, the injured person may have a claim against that owner. Lawyers call this <strong>negligent security<\/strong> (also called inadequate-security premises liability). You do not need to know the term to have a case. You just need to tell us what happened. Learn more on our negligent security page.<\/p>\n<h2>What Compensation May Be Available<\/h2>\n<p>Florida burn compensation can cover what you&#8217;ve already lost. It can also cover what you will need for the rest of your life. Every case is different. No lawyer can promise a specific amount. A case evaluation is how we assess what may be recoverable for you.<\/p>\n<p>Compensation may include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Medical costs<\/strong> \u2014 emergency and burn-unit care, surgeries, skin grafts, reconstructive procedures, and rehab.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Future care<\/strong> \u2014 a documented plan, with dollar figures, for lifelong treatment, revision surgeries, therapy, and assistive devices.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lost income and reduced earning power<\/strong> if you can&#8217;t return to your old work.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pain, suffering, disfigurement, and a lower quality of life.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Home and vehicle changes<\/strong> and long-term attendant support.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wrongful-death damages<\/strong> for families \u2014 funeral costs, loss of support, and loss of companionship.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The most important step in a catastrophic burn claim is proving <strong>future<\/strong> cost. We often work with <strong>life-care planners<\/strong> and <strong>treating doctors<\/strong>. Together they project decades of surgeries, wound care, and support. The first hospital bill is often just a small part of the true lifetime cost.<\/p>\n<h2>How the Process Works: What to Expect<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Free case evaluation.<\/strong> We listen, review what happened, and explain your options at no cost \u2014 in English or Spanish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Investigation.<\/strong> We gather medical and burn-center records, fire-marshal and accident reports, product evidence, and scene documents.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Identify every responsible party<\/strong> and the insurance coverage available.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Build damages.<\/strong> We document your current and future medical, life-care, and money needs with medical and life-care experts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Negotiate.<\/strong> We press insurers for a fair settlement. If they won&#8217;t offer one, we file suit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Resolve<\/strong> through settlement or trial.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Let&#8217;s be realistic about timing. Catastrophic burn cases often take many months. Complex ones can take longer than a year. In part, this is because we may wait until your treatment stabilizes. That way, a life-care plan can capture your true long-term needs instead of an early guess. We keep you informed at every step.<\/p>\n<h2>Florida&#8217;s Deadline to File a Burn Injury Claim<\/h2>\n<p>Florida sets a strict deadline. Missing it can permanently end your right to recover. In March 2023, Florida shortened the general negligence deadline from four years to <strong>two years<\/strong>. For most negligence claims that accrue on or after <strong>March 24, 2023<\/strong>, the deadline is generally <strong>two years<\/strong> under <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0000-0099\/0095\/Sections\/0095.11.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 95.11<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>That same 2023 law also changed Florida to a <strong>modified comparative-negligence<\/strong> rule. Under <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.81.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 768.81<\/a>, a person found <strong>more than 50% at fault<\/strong> for their own injury generally recovers nothing. If you are 50% or less at fault, your recovery is reduced by your share. You can read the full statutes on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/\">Online Sunshine<\/a>, the Florida Legislature&#8217;s official site.<\/p>\n<p>Deadlines vary by claim type and facts. Wrongful-death, government-defendant, and product claims can differ. This is general information, not legal advice about your case.
