Burn injury claims can be especially complex due to the severity of the injuries, the need for expert evaluations, and questions of liability. A skilled personal injury attorney can help you navigate these challenges, protect your interests, and build a compelling case for full compensation.
At Wagner, McLaughlin & Whittemore, we offer comprehensive legal support tailored to your situation. Here’s how we assist our clients:
We gather evidence from the scene, review safety records or building codes, interview witnesses, and consult fire and chemical analysis experts to understand how the burn occurred and who may be liable.
Liability for burn injuries can rest with a negligent landlord, product manufacturer, contractor, employer, or another party. We analyze how safety failures, defective products, or code violations may have contributed to your injuries.
Insurance companies may try to undervalue your claim or blame you for the incident. We manage all interactions, safeguard your rights, and fight back against unfair settlement tactics.
Burn injuries often require extensive documentation, including medical records, surgical reports, and expert testimony. We gather everything needed to demonstrate the lasting impact on your health, appearance, and quality of life.
We work to negotiate a fair settlement, but we are fully prepared to litigate your case in court if necessary. We don’t back down when your future is at stake.
From start to finish, we strive to reduce your stress and aggressively pursue the justice and financial recovery you deserve under Florida law.

Burn injuries can happen in a variety of settings—from homes and restaurants to construction sites and industrial facilities. Many are preventable and stem from negligence, oversight, or faulty equipment. Common causes include:
Fires in homes, apartments, or businesses may result from faulty wiring, poor maintenance, or code violations. Property owners can be held liable for failing to maintain a safe environment.
Burns are common in construction, manufacturing, and food service. Employers may be responsible for inadequate training, lack of protective gear, or unsafe conditions.
Household appliances, batteries, tools, and other products can cause burns if poorly designed or improperly manufactured. Product liability laws allow victims to hold manufacturers accountable.
Restaurants, hotels, and daycare facilities may be liable if their negligence causes serious scald injuries, particularly to children or vulnerable individuals.
Hazardous chemicals in industrial settings or improperly stored cleaning products can cause devastating skin and eye injuries.
Contact with exposed wiring or electrical equipment can cause deep internal burns. These injuries often occur in workplaces or during construction.
You may be entitled to compensation if any of these causes resulted from another party’s carelessness or a safety violation. Our attorneys can help uncover who’s responsible.
Burn injuries often involve significant financial, physical, and emotional costs. An attorney can help you calculate your claim’s full value by assessing economic and non-economic damages.
These reflect the actual financial losses from your injury and may include:
Non-economic damages account for the personal impact of the injury and may include:
Severe burns often qualify for non-economic damages under Florida law. We work with medical and psychological experts to illustrate the full extent of your suffering and advocate for meaningful compensation.
