Burn Injury Lawyer – Houston, TX

Recovering from burn injuries can be time-intensive, painful, and costly. Our Houston, TX burn injury lawyer team can help you to pursue any and all compensation that you may be entitled to as a result of your suffering. If another’s recklessness, negligence, or intentionally harmful conduct contributed to the cause(s) of your injuries, you may have strong grounds upon which to file a personal injury lawsuit.

If You Have Suffered a Burn While on the Job

If your burn was work-related, you’ll want to call our firm immediately. Personal injury lawsuits are time-sensitive, and exploring your legal options proactively in re: a lawsuit is wise for several reasons. However, if you may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits, you’ll need to act now. The workers’ compensation claims process is among the most time-sensitive legal processes in the U.S. If you don’t take some specific actions within a number of days after you are burned, you may be barred from seeking otherwise rightful compensation.

Note that if you are eligible for workers’ compensation benefits, you will not be able to name your employer as a defendant in any personal injury lawsuit that you may file. This is because employers enjoy limited legal liability when it comes to the work-related injuries and illnesses of their full-time and part-time workers who are eligible for workers’ compensation benefits.

Finally, note that our firm can—if applicable to your situation—help you to file an anonymous inspection request with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The law safeguards workers from being forced to endure unsafe working conditions without an opportunity for recourse. If you and your coworkers are at an unreasonable risk while you’re on the job, we can help to ensure that this risk is addressed.
