We Assist Victims of Burn Injuries and Explosions Get the Help They Need

At the Los Angeles firm of Kottler & Kottler, our personal injury attorneys have experience representing seriously injured victims of burns and explosions. In April 2004 we obtained a $4 million dollar verdict on behalf of a client who was severely burned as the result of negligence.  In 1998 we obtained a $1.2 million judgment on a claim for injuries resulting from a gas explosion.

Burn and explosion accidents are usually caused by someone's carelessness, the violation of fire safety laws or the failure to act. Burn injuries can result from a variety of different activities and sources. Whether at home or on the job you can be seriously injured from many sources, including:

• Building Fires
• Hot Liquids
• Fume Ignition
• Water Heater Fires
• Chemical Burns
• Defective Products
• Flammable Liquids
• Motor Vehicle Fires
• Smoke/Heat
• Gas Explosions
• Work-Related Accidents
• Flammable Clothing

Burn injury victims can suffer excruciating pain as their wounds heal. They undergo painful skin grafting surgeries to repair the damage done by fire, steam or chemicals. Burn survivors may endure physical trauma, pain, organ and body chemistry damage, and temperature change sensitivity. After the physical scars begin to heal, the emotional scars begin to surface. Disfigurement brings unwanted stares and breaks down self-confidence and self-worth.

As a burn victim, you may be entitled to compensation for: medical expenses (current and future); lost wages (current and future); disfigurement; emotional pain and suffering; mental impairment; and physical disability.

Burn injury victims require specialized medical care and warrant specialized legal representation as well.  If you or a family member has sustained a serious burn injury or explosion injury, you should consult us at 1-800-254-6551.
