We Fight for Injury Victims of Burn Accidents in Boise
Injuries suffered in a burn accident are extremely serious and life threatening. As a trusted Boise burn injury lawyer, the team at Strong Law knows the pain and suffering burns can cause, both in the immediate aftermath of the accident and well into the future.
These injuries can have long-lasting ramifications that leave you unable to enjoy the same quality of life you had prior to the accident. While you are trying to heal, severe burns can lead to additional health problems that result in a far rougher road ahead.
We understand how frustrating it can be to suffer burns when you didn’t do anything wrong. Instead, others may have. It may be that the negligence of another person or of a company left you with an injury that can lead to skin grafts, serious infections, scarring, and extensive physical therapy.

We will protect your rights to seek damages for your medical bills, pain, suffering, lost wages, and reduction in quality of life.

When you suffer a burn in some sort of accident, the process of trying to win a financial judgment starts with proving that another party behaved in a negligent manner, leading to your injuries. Sometimes, the insurance company representing the responsible party will admit fault on the part of its client. This means you and your burn injury lawyer can focus on obtaining compensation for your medical bills, pain, and suffering.
However, if the insurer disputes how the accident occurred and exactly who is at fault, the situation changes. You and your burn injury attorney will need to first prove which party created the negligent situation. Once you can show who caused your injuries, then you can focus on trying to receive a fair settlement offer from that entity and its liability insurance company.
To show that a particular party should be held liable for your burns, you need to show that four different elements occurred, including:
To prove that these elements exist in your case, our skilled Boise burn injury lawyer will investigate how you suffered your injuries. This can involve studying police reports, interviewing witnesses, and reviewing any video of the scene. Should we need to hire accident recreation experts to show how the accident occurred, we will take this step. Find out how our burn injury attorney can build your case.

Here are some common questions victims of burns have before they file a personal injury claim.
A burn injury settlement really depends on the severity of the burns and the level of negligence of the party at fault for your injuries. Some cases may settle for several thousands of dollars, while others can settle for hundreds of thousands of dollars or more.
Workplace accidents and car accidents are among the most common situations that lead to the filing of burn injury claims. A malfunctioning product or an unsafe installation of a gas line or a gas cooking appliance could lead to a burn injury case, too.
Because first degree burns are the least serious types of burns, it can be tougher to win a settlement for this type of burn injury, but it is not impossible. The circumstances in the accident will play a role in whether a case is possible.
Absolutely. A burn injury claim can involve any kind of skin burn. A burn may occur because of a fire or because someone on a jobsite or at your home made an error that exposed your skin to dangerous chemicals.
According to Idaho state law, victims have a two-year statute of limitations to start the process of filing a personal injury claim. Our burn injury lawyers will help your case stay on track, meeting all filing deadlines.
"Just wanted to say thank you to Jed and his team at Strong Law. Not only was I happy with the outcome, but the entire process as a whole. I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone. Thanks again."
"I had a claim involving my own insurance company. I tried to negotiate with them, and they completely denied my claim – two times. I then hired Strong Law, and the change was instant. The insurance company immediately began negotiating, and Jed was able to secure an unbelievably good settlement. I will never again attempt to take-on an insurance company without Strong Law in my corner. Thank you!"
"I hired Strong Law after my car accident. Jed and his team worked hard on my case. They were professional and compassionate through my surgery and as I recovered, and they were awesome on communication. I got justice and awesome compensation. I would recommend Strong Law to anyone in my situation."
Although burn injuries themselves can involve intense pain, rehabilitating from them can involve significant pain too, according to Mayo Clinic. Some of the treatments you may have to undergo after suffering a serious burn injury include:
It is common for people who suffer burn injuries to need large amounts of medication to manage the pain, both from the wounds and from physical therapy. Having such a high level of pain in this type of accident allows you and our burn injury attorney to seek a larger pain and suffering settlement than with some other kinds of cases.
You may be doing your job like any other day at the worksite. Suddenly, a piece of equipment fails, creating a fire or a chemical spill out of nowhere. Just like that, your world has changed, potentially forever, as you now face a long hospital stay, potential disfigurement, and ongoing pain.
You did not do anything wrong, yet you are suffering. This can lead to feelings of helplessness, especially if the insurance company for the negligent party disputes your side of the story. Perhaps the insurer is arguing that your injuries are not as serious as you claim.
If the insurance company for the negligent party refuses to come to a fair settlement amount for your burn injury, we will fight for your right to receive the compensation you deserve. We will remain on your side, even if that requires taking the case to court. For a free review of your case, contact our Boise burn injury lawyer at Strong Law at 206-737-2997 as soon as possible.
Some burn injury cases represent extremely complex situations that will require a lot of time on the part of your Boise burn injury attorney. This causes some potential clients to worry about how they will be able to afford hiring a qualified attorney.
Understand that in burn injury cases, our law firm does not charge any fees ahead of time. Instead, our fees for representing you will be a percentage of the final settlement in the case. If we are unable to obtain a financial settlement for you, we do not receive any payment.
We also will not force you to accept a quick settlement. Settling fast may not be in your best interest, especially if your injuries are slow to heal and your pain is lingering. We do not want to settle your burn injury case until doctors diagnose your full health outlook. You will have the final call on whether to accept a negotiated settlement.
