A Miami burn injury lawyer at CHG Personal Injury Lawyers can help. We can help you seek money for your medical care, lost income, and lasting harm. A catastrophic burn changes everything. The pain, the surgeries, the scars, and the long recovery can overwhelm you and the people who love you.<\/p>\n<p>This page explains how a burn injury claim works. It covers what a claim may pay for, what it costs (nothing upfront), and how Florida&#8217;s deadline affects you. Consultations are always free and private.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/chglawyers.com\/contact-us\/\">Request a free case evaluation now.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We focus on serious, life-changing burns. Doctors measure burns by degree and by how much of your body is affected. This is called total body surface area (TBSA). We handle deep second-degree burns over large areas. We also handle third- and fourth-degree burns that cause permanent scarring, tight scar tissue (contractures), nerve damage, amputation, or death. We do not handle minor first-degree burns that fully heal.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large has-custom-border\"><img src=\"https:\/\/chglawyers.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/burn-injury-patient-meeting-with-a-rehabilitation-clinician-photo-21-1024x572.jpg\" alt=\"Burn injury patient meeting with a rehabilitation clinician in a private treatment room.\" style=\"border-radius:8px;width:100%;aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover\" width=\"1376\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chglawyers.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/burn-injury-patient-meeting-with-a-rehabilitation-clinician-photo-21-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/chglawyers.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/burn-injury-patient-meeting-with-a-rehabilitation-clinician-photo-21-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/chglawyers.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/burn-injury-patient-meeting-with-a-rehabilitation-clinician-photo-21-768x429.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chglawyers.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/burn-injury-patient-meeting-with-a-rehabilitation-clinician-photo-21-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/chglawyers.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/burn-injury-patient-meeting-with-a-rehabilitation-clinician-photo-21.jpg 1376w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1376px) 100vw, 1376px\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<div class=\"cta-dose-mid wp-block-group has-base-color has-accent-background-color has-text-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-32197852 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-radius:8px;padding-top:1.5rem;padding-bottom:1.5rem;padding-left:1.5rem;padding-right:1.5rem;border-left:6px solid var(--wp--preset--color--cta,#900000);box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.18)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-base-color has-text-color\">Not sure what your next step is?<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Talk it through with our team &#8212; the first consultation is free, confidential, and carries no obligation.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-button chg-cta-call\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"tel:+17867514283\">Get a free consultation<\/a><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-button chg-cta-form\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/chglawyers.com\/contact-us\/\">Get a free consultation<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Who This Is For<\/h2>\n<p>This page is for Miami-area burn survivors. It is also for families of people who died from burn injuries. It may help to talk to us if your burn needed a hospital or burn-unit stay, skin grafts, surgery, or long-term treatment.<\/p>\n<p>We help people hurt by many kinds of accidents, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fires and explosions in homes, apartments, or businesses<\/li>\n<li>Chemical burns from products or unsafe worksites<\/li>\n<li>Electrical burns from faulty wiring or power lines<\/li>\n<li>Scald burns from hot liquids, steam, or broken appliances<\/li>\n<li>Truck and car crash fires<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The common thread is negligence. That means someone failed to keep you safe. It could be a property owner, a product maker, an employer, a driver, or a contractor. If so, you may have a claim. You do not need to know who is legally at fault before you call. Figuring that out is our job.<\/p>\n<h2>Types of Catastrophic Burn Cases We Handle<\/h2>\n<h3>Fires and explosions<\/h3>\n<p>Thermal burns come from fire, heat, and blasts. Building fires, gas leaks, and apartment fires can cause deep burns over large parts of the body. In Miami-Dade County, the fire department writes an origin-and-cause report. In serious cases, the State Fire Marshal may investigate. Landlords and property managers can be responsible. This is true when unsafe conditions help cause a fire \u2014 like missing or dead smoke alarms, blocked exits, or faulty wiring.<\/p>\n<h3>Chemical and electrical burns<\/h3>\n<p>Chemical burns come from strong acids, industrial cleaners, or workplace substances. They can keep hurting the tissue even after contact. Electrical burns come from faulty wiring, exposed lines, and unsafe job sites. They often damage muscle and nerves far below the skin, and may look minor at first. Both kinds often need repeated surgeries.<\/p>\n<h3>Scald and vehicle-fire burns<\/h3>\n<p>Scald burns come from hot liquids, steam, and broken water heaters or appliances. Crash fires and fuel-fed fires can trap people inside a truck or car. These cases often involve more than one at-fault party. For example, a careless driver and a manufacturer whose fuel system or battery failed.<\/p>\n<h3>Burns on someone else&#8217;s property<\/h3>\n<p>Maybe you were burned at an apartment complex, hotel, store, or workplace. Did the owner ignore a known danger, like broken equipment, exposed wiring, or no working fire protection? If so, they may be legally responsible. Lawyers call this premises liability. You do not need to know that term to have a case. You just need to tell us what happened.<\/p>\n<h3>Defective product burns<\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes a product is the cause. It could be an exploding lithium-ion battery, a faulty appliance, or an unsafe vehicle part. When a defective product burns someone, the maker or seller may be responsible under Florida product-liability law.<\/p>\n<h2>What a Burn Injury Claim May Cover<\/h2>\n<p>Every case is different. No lawyer can honestly promise a specific result or dollar amount. A serious burn is one of the most costly injuries in medicine. The American Burn Association reports that severe burns often need the longest hospital stays of any traumatic injury, plus years of follow-up surgery. A strong claim shows the full picture of those losses.<\/p>\n<p>Money in a catastrophic burn case may cover:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Emergency and ongoing medical care<\/strong> \u2014 burn-unit stays, surgeries, skin grafts, and reconstructive procedures<\/li>\n<li><strong>Future medical costs<\/strong> \u2014 lifelong care, scar-revision surgery, rehab, and mental-health support for pain and trauma<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lost wages and lost earning ability<\/strong> \u2014 when injuries keep you from your job<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pain, suffering, and disfigurement<\/strong> \u2014 the physical and emotional toll of permanent scars and contractures<\/li>\n<li><strong>Home and vehicle changes<\/strong> \u2014 ramps, equipment, and changes you now need<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wrongful-death damages<\/strong> \u2014 for families who lost a loved one to burn injuries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How the Process Works<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Free case evaluation.<\/strong> We listen to what happened. We explain your options in plain language, with no obligation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Investigation.<\/strong> We gather the fire origin-and-cause report, medical and burn-center records, product evidence, photos, and witness accounts before they disappear.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Finding who is responsible.<\/strong> We find the at-fault parties and every source of insurance or liability. In burn cases, this is often more than one.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Building your claim.<\/strong> We work with your doctors, job experts, and certified life-care planners. Together we project the full lifetime impact of your injury.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Negotiation and litigation.<\/strong> We negotiate with insurers. If they will not offer a fair deal, we are ready to file suit and try the case.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Serious burn cases can take time. Your future medical needs must be clear before anyone can value the claim fairly. Settling before a burn has fully shown its effects often shortchanges survivors. We would rather build it right than fast.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cta-dose-mid wp-block-group has-base-color has-accent-background-color has-text-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-32197852 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-radius:8px;padding-top:1.5rem;padding-bottom:1.5rem;padding-left:1.5rem;padding-right:1.5rem;border-left:6px solid var(--wp--preset--color--cta,#900000);box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.18)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-base-color has-text-color\">Have questions about what happened?<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask our team directly.

Here is straight talk on each.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;I can&#8217;t afford a lawyer right now.&#8221;<\/strong> You pay nothing upfront. We work on a <strong>contingency fee<\/strong>. That means our fee is a percentage of what we recover for you. It comes out only if we recover money. If there is no recovery, you owe no attorney fee. Case costs \u2014 like records, experts, and filing fees \u2014 are usually paid by the firm and repaid from any recovery. We will put the fee in writing before you sign anything, as the Florida Bar&#8217;s contingency-fee rules require.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;I&#8217;m not even sure the other side was at fault.&#8221;<\/strong> That is exactly what an investigation is for. Blame in burn cases is rarely clear at the start. It can involve a landlord, a manufacturer, a contractor, and their insurers all at once. You are not expected to sort that out before you call.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;I don&#8217;t want a case dragging on for years.&#8221;<\/strong> Timelines vary with how bad the injury is and how many parties are involved. We keep you informed at each step. We will tell you honestly what to expect, not promise a fast payout we cannot control.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/chglawyers.com\/contact-us\/\">Contact us for a free, confidential consultation.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>If a Burn Took Someone You Love<\/h2>\n<p>A death is the most catastrophic outcome there is. No page can prepare a family for it. Florida&#8217;s Wrongful Death Act is found at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/0768PARTIIContentsIndex.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7768.16\u2013768.26<\/a>. Under it, certain family members may bring a claim for their loss. This can include a spouse, children, and parents in some cases. Usually the personal representative of the estate files it. The claim can seek the survivors&#8217; loss of support and companionship, plus medical and funeral costs tied to the death.<\/p>\n<p>We handle these cases with care and privacy. Our focus is on what your family can do next. We preserve evidence, meet the legal deadline, and take the pressure off your shoulders so you can grieve.<\/p>\n<h2>Florida Deadlines You Should Know<\/h2>\n<p>Florida sets a time limit to file most injury lawsuits. Missing it can end your case for good. For negligence claims that arose on or after March 24, 2023, Florida generally gives you <strong>two years<\/strong> to file 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. \u00a795.11<\/a>. Wrongful-death claims also generally carry a two-year limit.<\/p>\n<p>Deadlines vary by case type, and some are shorter. For example, claims against a government entity require early written notice. Florida also follows 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. \u00a7768.81<\/a>, a person found more than 50% at fault generally recovers nothing. Any money you do recover can be reduced by your share of fault.<\/p>\n<p>This is general information, not legal advice for your case. Only a licensed attorney who reviews your facts can confirm your deadline. Please do not try to figure it out alone.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Choose CHG Personal Injury Lawyers<\/h2>\n<p>We focus on catastrophic, life-changing injuries, not routine claims.
