Burn Injury Representation: When Negligence Leaves Permanent Scars

Burn injuries are among the most physically painful and emotionally devastating traumas a person can endure. Whether caused by a fire, chemical exposure, or an electrical malfunction, the impact of these injuries extends far beyond the skin — it affects every part of a victim’s life. At Moore Payne, we fight for burn injury victims with urgency, compassion, and an unrelenting pursuit of accountability.

The Reality of Burn Trauma

Burn injuries range in severity, but all can result in lasting consequences. Victims may face months or years of medical treatment, skin grafts, physical therapy, disfigurement, nerve damage, and psychological trauma.

Common Causes of Burn Injuries We Handle:

House and Apartment Fires – Often caused by landlord negligence, faulty wiring, or broken smoke alarms.
Workplace Accidents – Including explosions, chemical spills, and exposure to high heat without proper safety protocols.
Defective Products – Malfunctioning electronics, household items, or vehicles that ignite unexpectedly.
Restaurant and Hotel Incidents – Scalding water, hot surfaces, or poor kitchen safety practices.
Electrical Burns – Caused by exposed wiring or unsafe building conditions.
When carelessness leads to catastrophe, victims deserve more than treatment — they deserve justice.

Stories That Drive Our Work

We’ve seen the destruction these injuries cause:
  • A restaurant worker severely burned by an overheated fryer with a missing safety guard.
  • A child burned in a rented home with no working smoke detectors.
  • An electrician shocked by exposed wires in a construction zone without proper safety barriers.
These injuries are not just painful — they’re life-altering. Our mission is to make sure those responsible are held fully accountable.

Uncovering the Truth Behind the Fire

Burn injuries often occur because of neglected safety or defective systems.
Lack of Fire Safety Equipment – No fire extinguishers, sprinkler systems, or working alarms.
Code Violations – Outdated wiring, illegal construction, or lack of safety inspections.
Employer Negligence – Failure to train employees on handling dangerous materials.
Negligent Property Management – Ignoring tenant complaints about electrical hazards or gas leaks.
Manufacturer Liability – Poor design, lack of testing, or failure to warn consumers.
We work with fire experts, engineers, and medical professionals to identify how the injury occurred — and who is at fault.

What Burn Injury Victims Can Recover

Burn injury cases often involve extensive damages. At Moore Payne, we fight to recover:
  • Medical Costs – Emergency care, surgeries, skin grafts, rehabilitation, and future treatment.
  • Lost Wages – Time missed from work and loss of earning potential.
  • Pain and Suffering – Physical agony, emotional trauma, and loss of enjoyment of life.
  • Disfigurement and Disability – Compensation for permanent scars, mobility issues, and visible injuries.
