Most people quickly learn to respect heat and fire at a young age. Touching a candle flame or a stove burner is enough to teach that lesson. We all know it’s extremely painful. So when negligent people and businesses inflict burn injuries, the law has remedies for victims to get compensation.
The costs of treating a significant burn are high, and the pain and mental agony can be unbearable. You deserve compensation, and our Waco burn injury lawyers will do whatever it takes to get you justice. It’s why our firm has collected over $10 billion for our clients so far.
What Sets Our Burn Injury Team Apart
It’s not just that we’ve earned so much money for our clients. What sets us apart is that we believe in what we do and we believe in winning. At heart, we’re not personal injury lawyers. We’re litigation lawyers with a focus on personal injury.
Many lawyers will say they’re willing to go to trial for you, but what they’re really after is to make your settlement quick with the insurer. This may seem to be the best option since you get paid faster, but you probably won’t get paid as much as your case deserves that way.
In burn injury cases, insurers are looking at a huge payout. Burn injuries are expensive to treat. The last thing you want is a smaller settlement that doesn’t cover your medical needs, now or in the future. We will endeavor to make sure it does, at trial and beyond.

Complications in Burn Injury Cases
We all know how painful a burn can be, but you may not know some of the complications that can happen after one. One of the most important is infection. Once the skin is burned away, your body is an open target for bacteria and fungi. The most common cause of death in burn injury treatment is sepsis from an infection.
There are also blood complications. Damage to the blood vessels can make you lose more fluid than you should and create low blood volume. Blood clots are also an issue because burn injury victims must remain in bed rest while they recover. Long periods of bed rest can raise the risk of blood clots.
Finally, there are the aftereffects of scarring, both physically and emotionally. Scar tissue around a joint can create mobility issues. PTSD, depression, and anxiety are common in burn injury victims. Therapy is often recommended for burn injury victims to help them cope with their experience and re-enter society after a long hospital stay.

What Must Be Proven to Win My Case?
To win any personal injury case, four things must be proven. The first is someone to sue. This person must have a duty of care toward you, whether that’s selling safe products, driving their car right, or displaying caution signs about a hazard.
Next, they have to break that duty of care and put you in danger of an injury. This is called negligence. The third thing is causation. The negligence must be the cause of your injury. Finally, we have to prove the extent of your damages so we can claim compensation.
There are other sets of law that can intersect and change what we must prove to win your case, like with product liability cases, or cases like offshore oil rig explosions. Fortunately, our burn injury lawyers know the law and know how to tailor our case to your unique circumstances.
