Summerlin Burn Injury Lawyers
Have you or a loved one recently suffered a burn in an accident that was not your fault? Burns may be fairly easy to treat, if they are in the first or even second degree. However, third and fourth degree burns can lead to devastating and life-altering effects that are not only difficult to handle physically but also difficult to handle emotionally. The Summerlin burn injury lawyers at Lerner and Rowe work to hold liable parties accountable for burn injuries and help clients receive compensation.
Financial compensation can help burn injury victims in many ways. It can cover medical bills that are accumulating now. It can also cover the gap current lost wages have left while the victim cannot return to work. Financial compensation can even replenish funds for these losses in the future.

Summerlin Burn Injury Lawyers Can Help You Receive Compensation
The most important step in helping you receive financial compensation after a burn injury is figuring out who caused the accident. In Summerlin, our burn injury attorneys may:
- Visit the scene where the burn accident happened. This could be the area where your car caught fire, the store where an electrical wire tripped, or the hospital in which a chemical was spilled.
- View video footage of the accident and interview witnesses who saw what happened.
- Look for multiple liable parties. For instance, while another driver may have caused your wreck, it may have been the manufacturer of a specific car part – like an electrical vehicle battery–that caused the burn. In this case, both parties would share liability, and we would begin negotiations with multiple insurance companies.
Some insurance companies, especially those who work with businesses, are aggressive. They do whatever they can to give you an undervalued offer, all so that they can meet their own quotas. This puts our clients in an even worse position, because the injured victims of a wreck need all the financial assistance that they can get. And so, we focus on fighting these insurance companies for the highest amount of financial compensation possible.
Degrees Of Burn Injuries We Can Build Claims for at Lerner and Rowe
According to the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), there are six categories of burn injuries that can occur on the human body. They are:
- First degree burns, which burn the outer layer of skin.
- Second degrees burns, which burn the first two layers of skin.
- Third degree burns, which burns hair, sweat glands, both layers of skin, and tissues underneath.
- Fourth degree burns, which burn past the above layers into fat.
- Fifth degree burns, which burn past fat into muscle.
- Sixth degree burns, which burn through to the bone.
Victims of third, fourth, fifth, and sixth degree burns require expensive treatment and care. They will need skin grafts, fluids, physical therapy, and more. Many of these victims will also experience disfigurement. Disfigurement is actually one of the non-economic damages that victims may be able to receive restitution for financially, along with the related costs of treatment.
