Attorneys for Catastrophic Injury Claims & Lawsuits

Severe burns are among the most physically painful and emotionally devastating injuries you can suffer.

As a personal injury firm serving Jacksonville since 1997, the Law Offices of Nooney, Roberts, Hewett & Nowicki has seen the horrific impact that severe and long-term injuries like severe burns can have on individuals and their families. The lifelong consequences that may follow must be considered when pursuing compensation in a negligence-based claim after an accident.

Why Experienced Legal Representation Is Critical

Burn injury cases are frequently high-value claims because of the severity and permanence of the harm. As a result, you may face disputes over the cause of the fire or explosion that resulted in the burns. Your legal opponents may minimize the projected cost of future surgeries, challenge the need for long-term rehabilitation, downplay your psychological trauma, and try to shift blame for the burn incident to you.

Because burn injuries require long-term medical planning, it is essential to calculate future reconstructive procedures, therapy, assistive care, and diminished earning capacity accurately. Accepting an early settlement without a comprehensive damages assessment can leave you financially vulnerable for years.

Florida’s modified comparative negligence rules may also affect recovery if fault is disputed. Experienced legal counsel is necessary to protect the value of your claim.

Our strategic and evidence-driven approach to burn injury cases includes:

Immediate investigation of the accident scene
Preservation of physical evidence and fire reports
Coordination with fire origin and cause experts
Detailed review of medical records and burn treatment plans
Consultation with reconstructive surgeons and life care planners
Evaluation of long-term lost earning capacity
Comprehensive documentation of pain, disfigurement, and emotional harm
Aggressive negotiation and litigation when required

Our objective is to pursue compensation that reflects not only current medical bills but also the lifelong consequences of the injury.

Burn Injury Consequences That Must Be Considered

Severe burns affect nearly every system in the body. Victims may endure:

Intense and prolonged physical pain
Significant risk of infection
Extensive scarring and disfigurement
Nerve damage
Limited joint mobility
Respiratory complications from smoke inhalation
Psychological trauma, including anxiety, depression, and PTSD

Treatment often includes:

Emergency stabilization
Burn unit hospitalization
Multiple reconstructive surgeries
Skin graft procedures
Long-term physical therapy
Scar revision treatments

Recovery can take months or years. In some cases, full recovery is not possible, and permanent disability results. The emotional toll, especially in cases involving visible scarring, can be profound.

Families are also impacted. Extended hospital stays, time away from work, and ongoing medical expenses create financial strain at a time when stability is most needed.
