Burn and Explosion

Los Angeles personal injury lawyer and burn & explosion injuries

Residents in Los Angles hear in the news about fires and explosions every day, but often they don’t hear about the work personal injury lawyers do to help victims of burns and explosions recover from those traumatic events.

Personal injury lawyers help victims deal with the physical, emotional and financial impact injuries caused by burns and explosions cause.  The personal injury lawyer’s job is to seek compensation to help burn and explosion victims deal with recovery, and provide victims a means to get their lives back to as normal a state as possible.

Few injuries are more painful or more disfiguring than an injury caused by burns resulting from fires or explosions.  Not only are these injuries devastating, but they can do long term damage both physically and mentally.

Personal injury after burn & explosion recovery

Even after recovery, damages caused by burn and explosion injuries can cause lost wages, additional expenses for long-term medical or emotional care, and added stress and burden to the families of victims.  Personal injury law is the means for providing the support necessary to take care of these additional burdens, and provide a more normal life to victims and their families.

At the Los Angeles office of Pacific Attorney Group, we are committed to ensuring that you are fully compensated for your pain and suffering caused by a fire or explosion.  We will ensure your family is compensated for any burdens placed on them to care for or deal with the injuries such a devastating event can cause.

Burn and explosion damages

Unfortunately no amount of money can possibly compensate for the loss of your home, personal documents and mementos.  Nor will it compensate for the long lasting and often debilitating injuries that are typically caused by explosion or fire accidents.

What we can do is ensure that properly applied personal injury law on behalf of you and your loved ones ensure you are not financially crippled due to the expenses that are created by loss of wages, surgeries, pain medications, and rehabilitation therapy that is often a result of the fire or explosion injury.

Burns and Explosions are most commonly caused by:

  • Fireplaces
  • Wood burning stoves
  • Coal burning stoves
  • Space heaters
  • Electric heaters
  • Cigarette lighters
  • Furniture that is upholstered
  • Matches
  • Mattresses and other bedding
  • Liquids that are flammable
  • Clothing

Los Angeles and causes of burns and explosions

In Los Angeles, the most common causes of fire injuries and deaths include heating equipment that is poorly maintained or in disrepair, careless cigarette smoking and accidents caused while cooking.  Too often space heaters and electric blankets increase the likelihood of a fire erupting as a result of not being property maintained or improper operation.

Burns are not only disfiguring, they are extremely painful.  Burns that are caused by building fires, liquids and gasses are the most common serious burns.

Pacific Attorney Group uses the widely accepted definitions of degrees of burn which are:

  • First Degree – affects only the outer layer of skin
  • Second Degree – affects the other skin and the layer immediately below it
  • Third Degree – extensive burning of all layers of skin and damage to underlying tissue which often require skin grafts.
