OILFIELD EXPLOSIONS AND FIRES

The oilfield is a dangerous place. As plays accelerate in West Texas, South Texas and other states, the accident rate increases. If you or a loved one was injured as a result of an oilfield explosion, fire, blowout or toxic fumes, our experienced Corpus Christi burn attorneys are here to help you. We know the industry and will aggressively pursue your compensation for:

• medical expenses
• rehabilitation costs
• lost wages
• pain and suffering
• disability and disfigurement

APARTMENT/HOME FIRES

The most tragic result of a fire is the death or injury of loved one. A less-serious fire can still destroy things you hold dear and can’t replace. The trauma is worse if you find that the fire was caused by a landlord’s negligence or a defective product.

Destructive and sometimes lethal apartment and house fires can be caused by:

• defective space heaters and electrical cords
• worn or incorrectly-installed electrical wiring or gas lines
• malfunctioning appliance, such as an iron or toaster oven
• flammable furniture, bedding or clothing
• landlord’s failure to install/maintain smoke detectors, alarms and sprinklers
• manufacturer’s failure to provide appropriate warnings and instructions
• property owner’s failure to comply with federal, state or local safety codes

If you have had a fire, it’s important to preserve crucial evidence at the scene. Our team of experienced burn injury lawyers can dispatch assistance immediately and, with your approval, begin to take action regarding your possible case.

TYPES OF BURN INJURIES

There are many burn injuries that you may receive in a given incident, as they can vary significantly based on severity and source. In specific workplaces and other locations, you may face burns due to radiation, acid, gas fires, and several other sources. These each require different medical care, and we strongly recommend you seek medical attention for any injuries.

Burn injuries are also categorized according to degrees, with first-degree burns being considered mild and surface level and fourth-degree burns being quite severe and destroying all layers of the skin in an affected area. All burn injuries deserve medical attention, especially if they are severe or cover a significant surface area. 

We recommend you visit your doctor or another medical professional as soon as possible to have your injuries assessed. Your doctor can also recommend treatment plans and find latent injuries. A medical professional can also provide referrals to other specialists you may need to visit. For help finding a doctor, your lawyer can provide a referral.

WHAT COMPENSATION CAN YOU COLLECT WITH A BURN INJURY CLAIM?

If someone else is liable for your burn injuries, you may be entitled to significant compensation for your losses. The following damages may qualify for payment from the responsible parties:

• Attorney fees
• Medical expenses, including those related to:
  • Ambulance use
  • Emergency room, hospital, or urgent care
  • Physical therapy
  • Mental health help
  • Future additional medical care
• Property damage
• Loss of wages or wage-earning potential
• Wrongful death
• Loss of companionship or consortium
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Scarring and disfigurement

Other damages may also qualify for compensation, so we recommend you partner with a lawyer for help. Your burn injury lawyer can help identify other qualifying damages, estimate the value of your case accurately, increase the compensatory value of your claims, and many other aspects of your case.
