Common Causes of Burn Injuries

Burn injuries happen in many ways, and understanding the cause is a key part of any claim. In and around Albuquerque, burns can occur at job sites, in homes, and in other settings. Each situation raises different legal questions about who may be responsible.

Some incidents that can lead to serious burns include:

• Workplace accidents 
• Defective products
• Home fires
• Vehicle collisions 
• Electrical accidents 

Responsibility for a burn injury can fall on one or several parties. For example, a property owner may be accountable for unsafe wiring in an apartment building. In a workplace incident, liability might involve an employer, a contractor, or the manufacturer of faulty equipment. In a vehicle fire, the at-fault driver or a product manufacturer may play a role.

You do not need to sort this out alone. Our Albuquerque burn injury lawyer can review the facts, explain how New Mexico law may apply, and discuss whether we can help you move forward.

Compensation in Burn Injury Claims

After a severe burn, many people realize that the financial impact stretches far beyond the first emergency visit. There can be future surgeries, time away from work, and long-term care needs. A burn injury claim seeks to address these costs, subject to the facts and evidence in each case.

Compensation in a burn case can include: 

• Current and future medical bills
• Lost wages
• Lost earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Scarring and disfigurement 
• And more

Every case is unique, and no attorney can promise a specific result. With nearly 20 years of trial-tested experience, we know how to gather records, consult appropriate resources when needed, and present a full picture of how your burns affect your life. Our goal is to pursue the best outcome the facts and the law support, while keeping you informed and involved in key decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I work directly with an attorney on my case?

Yes. When you hire our firm, you work directly with an attorney who knows your case and communicates with you regularly. 

Is my burn injury serious enough for a claim?

Many burns that require medical treatment, leave scars, or keep you from working may support a claim. The best way to know is to talk with us. During a free consultation, we review what happened, your medical care, and how your life has changed, then discuss possible options.

How long does a burn injury case usually take?

The length of a case varies. Factors include how long you need medical treatment, the investigation, and how willing insurers are to negotiate. Some claims resolve in months, while others take longer. We keep you updated and explain each stage so the timeline is easier to follow.

What should I bring to my first consultation?

Bring any medical records you have, photos of your burns, incident reports, and insurance information. If you wrote notes about what happened or collected witness names, those are helpful too. If you cannot gather everything, do not worry. We can still meet and help you identify key documents.
