Burn Injury Attorneys in Fresno, California

At Law Offices of Frank M. Nunes Inc, our burn injury lawyers in Fresno, California understand the specialized care our clients require after suffering from these often debilitating injuries. Burn injuries can require long-term medical care, extended time away from work, and even cause permanent scarring or disfigurement that changes our clients’ lives.

Since 2007, our Fresno burns injury law firm’s founder, Frank Nunes, has transferred his knowledge from years spent as in-house counsel for a leading national insurance company to helping personal injury victims pursue the financial recovery they deserve from the negligent party that caused their injuries.

If you have suffered a personal injury caused by another’s negligence, you do not have to face the insurance company alone. Our burn injury attorneys in Fresno County, Kings County, Kern County, Madera County, Merced County, and Tulare County will outline your legal options in simple terms that empower you to pursue your claim with confidence.

How Common are Burn Injuries in the U.S.?

According to the Centers for Disease Control, approximately two million people suffer from burn injuries throughout the U.S. each year; over half of whom will require immediate medical care.

Another 50,000 burn injury victims require hospitalization, where their medical care and treatment plans can be lengthy and painful.

Throughout the country, nearly 4,500 adults and children die each year from direct burn injuries, and approximately 10,000 more people lose their lives to burn-related infections.

If you or a loved one suffered burn injuries caused by negligence and are uncertain about the proper time to file a personal injury claim, our Fresno attorneys can answer your questions and outline your legal options during a free consultation today.

What are the Most Common Types of Burn Injuries in Fresno, California?

At Law Offices of Frank M. Nunes Inc, our Fresno burns injury attorneys know that there are many circumstances that can lead to these injuries and that no two people will suffer the same harm or require the same type or level of care to return to the quality of life they once enjoyed.

Burn injuries hospitalizations are categorized by type throughout the country and include:

  • 43% from fire or flame injuries
  • 34% from scalding injuries
  • 9% from contact injuries
  • 4% from electrical injuries
  • 3% from chemical injuries
  • 7% from other types of burn injuries

If negligence was a factor when you or a loved one suffered burn injuries, contact our Fresno personal injury attorneys in Fresno today to learn more about our customized approach to pursuing results for our clients.

What are the Most Common Causes of Burn Injuries in Fresno, California?

Since fire is not the only way burn injuries occur, they can happen anywhere negligence is a factor.

Some of the more common causes of burn injuries in Fresno may include, but are not limited to:

  • Car accidents
  • Truck collisions
  • Motorcycle crashes
  • Petroleum transport accidents
  • Construction accidents
  • Electrocutions from open currents
  • Dangerous and defective products
  • Premises liability
  • Chemical fires
  • Fireworks
  • Improper instructions for chemicals
  • Contact with hot metal or glass
  • Exposure to hot liquids
  • Unprotected steam vents

Burn injuries can occur in residences, workplaces, and even public venues like restaurants, concert halls, and theaters, which means there is often more than one party who can be held liable for your burn injury claim.

The one thing they all have in common is that their insurance representatives will tell you not to hire an attorney. At Law Offices of Frank M. Nunes Inc, our burn injury lawyer knows first-hand, as a former insurance company attorney, that they are not looking out for your best interests. In fact, they are only attempting to protect their bottom line.

Do not allow the insurance company to take advantage of your vulnerable position. Allow our Fresno burn injury attorneys to take the lead, so you do not have to communicate with the insurance company at all. Instead, you can focus all your energy on getting your life back.

How are Burn Injuries Different from Other Personal Injuries?

The difference between burn injuries and other accident damages is the level and length of care required to treat them, which often requires long-term and concentrated medical attention.

The overall damages caused by burn injuries may include, but are not limited to:

  • Specialized medical care
  • Skin grafting and follow-up procedures
  • Infection management
  • Rehabilitation and pain therapy
  • Long-term medical device and prescription costs
  • Extended time away from work resulting in lost wages or benefits
  • Diminished future working capacity
  • Loss of mobility
  • Disfigurement and scarring
  • Temporary or permanent disabilities
  • Lifelong physical and emotional disabilities

The life-changing nature of burn injuries requires an experienced Fresno burn injury law firm to pursue results, so you and your family are not subjected to further harm when the medical bills and lost wages catch up to your ongoing, day-to-day care needs.

We will help you pursue the financial recovery that reflects your injury needs, so you can continue to get the care you deserve.
