The Burn Injury Cases We Handle

Our firm is capable of handling the most serious workplace burn injuries, those that fundamentally change a person's life. 

We take on cases involving:

• Severe thermal burns from fires, explosions, steam, or contact with hot surfaces and liquids
• Chemical burns caused by exposure to industrial acids, bases, or corrosive substances
• Electrical burns resulting from contact with live wires, faulty equipment, or power lines
• Radiation burns from welding operations or other industrial processes

We focus particularly on burn injuries that Georgia law classifies as “catastrophic injuries.” These include third-degree burns to five percent or more of a person’s hands or face. It also includes second-degree burns that cover a quarter or more of a person’s body. Many of our clients face permanent scarring, disfigurement, loss of function, and ongoing medical needs that extend far beyond their initial treatment.

The Available Compensation for Workplace Burn Injuries

Georgia's workers' compensation system provides several types of benefits for employees who suffer burn injuries on the job:

• Medical benefits – Covering necessary treatment, including emergency care, hospitalization, surgery, skin grafts, reconstructive procedures, medications, and ongoing therapy. This coverage should continue for as long as treatment remains necessary.
• Income replacement – Weekly payments when burn injuries make working impossible. The amount and duration depend on the severity of the injury and its impact. 
• Permanent partial disability benefits – Compensation for lasting impairments, such as scarring, reduced range of motion, or functional limitations that don't completely prevent you from working.
• Permanent total disability benefits – Ongoing support when catastrophic burns make it impossible to return to any form of gainful employment.
• Vocational rehabilitation – To help injured workers who cannot perform their previous jobs learn new skills for different employment.
