The duration of a burn injury case varies depending on case complexity, evidence gathering, negotiations, and whether litigation becomes necessary.

Most burn injury cases settle out of court through negotiation to save time and costs. However, if negotiations fail, we are prepared to take your case to trial for full compensation. Our approach focuses on the best outcome for your unique situation.
Immediately after a burn injury, seek medical care to treat your injuries and document their severity. Next, preserve evidence related to the incident and contact a qualified attorney to protect your legal rights. Prompt action is key to an effective claim.
