When Negligence Leaves a Scar, We’re Here to Help

Burn injuries often require emergency treatment, skin grafts, and long-term physical and emotional recovery. Whether caused by fire, chemicals, electricity, or a dangerous product, these injuries demand serious legal support. At Parrish Law Firm, we represent clients who have suffered severe burns due to someone else’s negligence—and fight to hold the responsible party accountable.

Types of Burn Injury Cases We Handle

We pursue compensation for clients with:

• Thermal burns from open flame or hot surfaces
  
• Chemical burns from hazardous substances or improper labeling
  
• Electrical burns caused by unsafe work sites or wiring
  
• Scalding injuries from hot liquids, often in restaurants or homes
  
• Explosion injuries from gas leaks or defective products
  
• Friction burns from accidents like motorcycle crashes
  

We understand how these cases differ based on severity, location, and long-term effects.

Burn Severity and Long-Term Effects

Burns are classified into degrees of severity:

• First-degree: Superficial damage (e.g., sunburn)
  
• Second-degree: Damage through outer skin layers, often blistering
  
• Third-degree: Full-thickness burns requiring grafts and long-term care
  
• Fourth-degree: Extends to muscle, fat, or bone
  
  

Severe burns can lead to nerve damage, disfigurement, infection, restricted movement, and PTSD.

Imagine This

A faulty kitchen appliance sparks and ignites a fire in your Buckhead apartment. You suffer second- and third-degree burns on your arms and chest trying to escape. The device had a known defect, but no recall was issued. A lawyer uncover evidence of prior complaints, bring in a fire investigation expert, and hold the manufacturer accountable.

Understanding the Costs of a Burn Injury

According to the American Burn Association, over 400,000 people receive medical treatment for burns each year in the U.S. (source). Burn injuries often result in:

• Hospitalization and surgical interventions
  
• Rehabilitation and physical therapy
  
• Psychological trauma and counseling
  
• Time off work or long-term disability
  
• Permanent scarring and reduced mobility
  
  

We factor all of these into your case value and work with specialists to build a compelling claim.
