Burn injuries are some of the most devastating personal injuries anyone can experience. Beyond the intense physical pain, victims often face long-term emotional, psychological, and financial burdens. Whether caused by fire, electricity, chemicals, or defective products, the aftermath can leave scars that go far deeper than the surface. At Moore Payne, we stand beside burn injury victims with relentless determination, compassion, and the legal power to hold wrongdoers accountable.
The Long-Term Toll of Burn Injuries
Every burn injury tells a story—of trauma, pain, and survival. While burns vary in degree and severity, even moderate injuries can lead to years of treatment and rehabilitation. Many victims must undergo:
- Skin grafting procedures
- Multiple surgeries
- Pain management therapies
- Physical and occupational therapy
- Psychological counseling for trauma, depression, or PTSD
These injuries can also result in permanent disfigurement, mobility limitations, and a profound impact on daily living and self-esteem.
Common Burn Injury Cases We Handle
Moore Payne has represented victims in a wide range of burn injury scenarios. Some of the most frequent causes include:
✔ Residential Fires – Caused by negligent landlords, faulty electrical wiring, or absent fire safety systems.
✔ Workplace Accidents – Including burns from hot machinery, chemical spills, or explosions in unsafe job sites.
✔ Defective Products – Electronics, household goods, or auto components that overheat, catch fire, or explode without warning.
✔ Commercial Property Incidents – Scalding in hotels or restaurants, due to lack of safety procedures or maintenance.
✔ Electrical Burns – Resulting from exposed wires, failed breakers, or construction zones without proper safeguards.
Every one of these incidents could have been prevented with responsible safety practices and accountability.
Real Stories. Real Accountability.
Behind every case we take on is a real person whose life was disrupted by negligence. We’ve represented:
- A child severely burned due to a space heater that ignited near a faulty outlet.
- A hotel guest injured in a shower with dangerously hot water and no temperature control.
- A contractor shocked and burned by live wires left exposed by a negligent building crew.
These are not just accidents — they’re preventable tragedies. And they drive our fight for justice.
Digging Deeper: How Burn Injuries Happen
Burn injury cases often involve layers of negligence. At Moore Payne, we investigate every detail, including:
✔ Fire Safety Failures – No working alarms, missing extinguishers, or lack of exit plans.
✔ Building Code Violations – Outdated wiring, gas leaks, or poor maintenance.
✔ Product Defects – Flammable materials, battery explosions, or inadequate safety warnings.
✔ Employer Negligence – Poor training, insufficient gear, or failure to enforce safety standards.
✔ Landlord and Property Neglect – Ignoring tenant complaints or failing to address known hazards.
With the help of fire safety experts, engineers, and medical professionals, we uncover what caused the injury—and who is legally responsible.
What Victims May Be Entitled To
Burn injuries often require a lifetime of care. That’s why we fight for the maximum compensation available, including:
- Medical Costs – Emergency treatment, reconstructive surgeries, rehabilitation, and long-term care
- Lost Income – Wages missed during recovery and diminished future earning potential
- Pain and Suffering – For the immense physical pain and lasting emotional trauma
- Disfigurement & Disability – For scarring, permanent loss of function, or life-altering impact
- Punitive Damages – When gross negligence or reckless behavior caused the injury
We build every case with one goal in mind: to help our clients recover not just financially, but emotionally and physically as well.
