San Diego Second- and Third-Degree Burns Compensation Lawyers

Experienced California Personal Injury Law Firm

If you received second- or third-degree burns due to the negligence or carelessness of another, you are entitled to compensation. At The McClellan Law Firm, our San Diego attorneys have been representing the rights of injured individuals since 1987. With a strong record of success and a dedication to comprehensive client service, we know how to get the job done right for you.

The Leading Causes of Second- and Third-Degree Burns

While our firm represents individuals who suffered burn injuries in all types of personal injury accidents, we most often see 2nd- and 3rd-degree burns occurring in the following situations:

• Auto collisions: After severe auto accidents, certain defective cars can and do start on fire, called post-collision fuel-fed fires (PCFFF).
• Gas explosions: Gas eruptions can occur during the construction of hotels or other buildings where gas lines leak. A gas explosion can also occur when underground gas facilities rupture in some way.
• Electrical burns: These cases often involve electricians and others who get burned on high-voltage transmission lines or when working on panels that were improperly marked.

If you suffered burn injuries due to any situation, whether named above or not, seek legal assistance immediately.

What You May Not Understand About Injuries Caused by Burns

Burn injuries last a lifetime. While most burn victims understand that they can seek compensation for the injury, pain and suffering, and lost wages, they do not often think about how their burns will affect them in the future. In truth, burns can lead to many other issues and pain in the future due to:

• Organ failure from 2nd- and 3rd-degree burns
• Skin grafting procedures that occur over time
• Permanent scarring and/or disfigurement

Our personal injury lawyers will advocate strongly on your behalf to ensure that your current and future losses are included in your compensation package. We will seek comprehensive damages for your pain, suffering, scarring, disfigurement, loss of future income and many other factors.
