Burn injuries are among the most painful and devastating injuries a person can suffer. Beyond the intense physical pain, burn victims often face long-term scarring, emotional trauma, and massive medical costs. At Davalos Legal, we fight for burn injury victims across Florida. Attorney Jonny Davalos — your Law Hero — is ready to stand with you and demand full justice for the pain and losses you've endured.
Common Causes of Burn Injuries
Burn injuries can happen in a variety of tragic ways, including:
- Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents (fuel fires, explosions)
- Workplace accidents (chemical burns, electrical burns)
- Apartment fires due to landlord negligence
- Defective products (faulty appliances, electronics)
- Restaurant or kitchen accidents
- Building fires and negligent security cases
When your burns are caused by someone else's negligence or a dangerous product, you have the right to fight back.
Types of Burn Injuries
Burns are classified by severity:
- First-degree burns: Affect only the outer skin layer (mild but painful).
- Second-degree burns: Damage deeper skin layers, often requiring medical treatment.
- Third-degree burns: Severe injuries destroying multiple skin layers, often leading to permanent scarring, surgeries, and disability.
- Chemical and Electrical Burns: Often cause deeper, hidden internal injuries that can be life-threatening.
No matter the degree, burn injuries can cause lifelong consequences physically, emotionally, and financially.
Long-Term Effects of Burn Injuries
Severe burns often lead to:
- Permanent scarring and disfigurement
- Loss of mobility (especially with burns across joints)
- Chronic pain and nerve damage
- Multiple surgeries and skin grafts
- Psychological trauma, including PTSD and depression
- Massive long-term medical costs and rehabilitation needs
At Davalos Legal, we fight to make sure every aspect of your recovery — not just immediate bills — is fully compensated.
