Catastrophic

Severe Burns

Burn cases involve treatment most people cannot imagine and scarring that does not end when the file closes. The recovery has to account for both.

Depth and surface area drive everything

Total body surface area and burn degree set the medical course, and the medical course sets the value. Both are established in the first hospital records, which is why they get pulled early.

Where the liability sits

Missing or inadequate protective equipment, electrical faults, vehicle fires, premises hazards, industrial process failures. Each points at a different defendant, and frequently at more than one.

The treatment is the damages

Grafts, contracture release, infection risk and reconstruction projected across a lifetime. So is the psychological injury, which is real, documented and compensable.

We have done this

Josh Powell recovered $32.2 million for a client burned in a plant explosion, and $49 million for a client catastrophically injured by an impaired driver.
