From refinery and chemical plant explosions to apartment fires and workplace accidents, burn victims often face serious physical, emotional, and financial challenges. At Gilman & Allison, LLP, our attorneys represent burn injury victims across Houston, Corpus Christi, and the Texas Gulf Coast.
If you or a loved one suffered a burn injury because of someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to significant compensation.
Common Causes of Burn Injuries in Texas
Texas is home to refineries, chemical plants, offshore drilling operations, and heavy industry — all of which pose serious fire and explosion risks. Some of the most common causes of burn injuries include:
- Refinery and plant explosions
- Apartment and residential fires caused by unsafe wiring or landlord negligence
- Workplace accidents at shipyards, construction sites, and factories
- 18-wheeler and motor vehicle fires after a crash
- Chemical burns from unsafe exposure in industrial jobs
- Electrical burns due to unsafe working conditions or defective equipment
Types of Burn Injuries
Burns are classified by severity, and each level can result in costly treatment and long-term suffering:
- First-degree burns: Surface damage, typically requiring minimal treatment.
- Second-degree burns: Deeper skin damage that can cause scarring and infection.
- Third-degree burns: Severe tissue damage requiring skin grafts or surgery.
- Chemical and electrical burns: Often catastrophic, leading to permanent disability.
Compensation for Burn Injury Victims
A successful burn injury lawsuit can provide financial recovery for:
- Medical bills and long-term treatment (skin grafts, rehabilitation, therapy)
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Scarring and disfigurement damages
- Emotional distress and trauma
- Loss of quality of life
Our trial attorneys have decades of experience fighting to maximize compensation for burn injury victims and their families.
Why Burn Injury Cases Are Complex
Burn injury cases often involve multiple responsible parties — employers, landlords, contractors, manufacturers, or insurance companies. These cases also require medical experts and safety specialists to prove negligence. At Gilman & Allison, LLP, we have the resources and courtroom experience to take on these powerful defendants.
