Burn injury

Burn injuries can be severe and require long treatment. We help injured workers pursue the care and compensation they need.

## Help after a serious burn

Burn injuries range from mild to life-threatening, and their severity depends on the size and depth of the injury. Electrical burns can be especially difficult to assess because they can cause significant damage beneath the skin with little visible surface injury.

When a burn happens at work, workers' compensation can cover your treatment and replace part of your lost wages. If a third party or a defective product contributed, you may have an additional claim.

## Representation that fits your case

Some burn injuries have lasting effects on your abilities, appearance, or mental health. We take the time to understand the full impact of your injury and pursue the value of your claim accordingly.

Common questions

## Burn injury FAQs

### Is a burn injury covered by workers' compensation?

If it happened in the course of your job, a burn injury is generally covered by workers' compensation, which is a no-fault system. Benefits can include medical treatment and wage replacement.

### What if a defective product caused the burn?

If a defective product or a party other than your employer contributed to your injury, you may have a separate claim in addition to workers' compensation. We investigate to identify everyone who may be responsible.

### How long do I have to act?

Report a work injury to your employer promptly, generally within 30 days, with further deadlines to file. Third-party claims have their own deadlines. [CONFIRM: confirm the deadlines that apply to your claim]
