Types of Burn Injury Cases We Represent
We represent burn injury victims after a car accident or an accident in an industrial setting, including factories and warehouses. Burn injuries are classified as:
- First-degree burns. As the least severe type of burn, these are largely superficial and cause reddened, swollen, and painful skin.
- Second-degree burns. Often caused by serious sunburn or boiling water, these injuries are painful and can result in permanent skin damage.
- Third-degree burns. Burning through the layers of the skin, these injuries can appear to be black and white and extend into the tissue.
- Fourth-degree burns. The most severe and damaging type of burn, this extends past the skin and into both muscle and bone.
Whether due to an explosion, fire, boiling water, electrocution, or more, we will thoroughly investigate the cause of the accident. We hold all liable parties accountable, including the other driver, your employer, and more.
We Understand How Insurance Companies Think
Grand Junction burn injury attorney Gary Doehling worked for years on the other side of the aisle with large insurance companies. Now, he uses this experience to provide a distinct advantage to our clients. He understands firsthand the tactics that insurers utilize to attempt to pay injury victims far less than what they deserve.
Your burn injury may leave you with mounting medical expenses, considerable property damage, an inability to return to work, and devastating pain. We leverage our reputation as aggressive trial lawyers to maximize the compensation you receive and are unafraid to challenge large insurance companies in court.
