Burn and Electrocution Cases Are Technical. We Know the Science.

Burn Degree Dictates Everything

1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th degree burns each trigger different medical protocols and settlement values. Insurance will understate the degree; we bring in the experts who won't.

Electrocution Injuries Are Often Invisible

Arc flash, contact burns, and electrical shock can cause cardiac arrhythmia, neurological damage, and organ injury that doesn't show on standard imaging. Specialized evaluation is required.

Workers Comp Isn't Your Only Option

If you were injured on the job, workers' comp may apply — but third-party liability (contractor, property owner, manufacturer) often provides much larger recovery. We find every source.

What You Need to Know

What types of burn injuries qualify for a personal injury case?

Thermal (heat), chemical, electrical, and radiation burns can all form the basis of a Florida PI claim when caused by someone else's negligence. Common scenarios include commercial kitchen accidents, construction-site electrical injuries, defective product fires, apartment fires from landlord negligence, and utility or industrial-site incidents.

How is a burn case value calculated?

Burn cases are valued based on degree (1st through 4th), body surface area affected, reconstructive surgery needs, scarring and disfigurement, psychological trauma, lost wages, and future medical needs. Third- and fourth-degree burns, especially on visible areas like the face and hands, carry significantly higher case values.

Can I sue my employer if I was electrocuted on the job?

Generally, Florida workers' compensation law limits direct claims against employers — but it does NOT prevent third-party claims. If a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, property owner, or utility company was also at fault, you can often recover significantly more through that claim, on top of workers' comp.

What damages can I recover in a burn or electrocution case?

Medical expenses (including future reconstructive surgery), lost wages, lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and damages for permanent scarring or disfigurement. Electrocution cases also often include compensation for cardiac monitoring, neurological rehabilitation, and long-term organ function assessments.

How long do I have to file a burn injury claim in Florida?

Typically two years from the date of the injury. However, burn cases often involve ongoing treatment that reveals the true extent of damages only over time — so early case filing protects your rights while treatment continues.

I was burned in an apartment fire — is that my case or the landlord's insurance?

If the fire resulted from landlord negligence (defective wiring, broken smoke detectors, missing fire extinguishers, code violations), you likely have a claim against the property owner's insurance on top of any renter's insurance you may have. We investigate fire-origin reports and municipal code compliance to identify every liable party.
