San Fernando Valley Burn Injury Lawyers

Burn Injury

Millions of people sustain burns every year; over half of these injuries could have been prevented. Burns are very serious injuries that affect not only the skin, but muscle, nerves, tissue and organs. Additionally, bone and physical appearance may also be affected. Burn injuries cause California construction workers to lose hundreds of thousands of days of work, in addition to the possible trauma and stress of dealing with permanent disfigurement and rehabilitation. Burn injuries can be catastrophic and when you are injured at work, you will be dealing with insurance companies who are less concerned with your recovery and more concerned with turning a profit. Insurance adjusters do not work for you! You deserve the very best medical care available so that you can have the best outcome possible.

The Mandell Law firm can help. We give our clients personal, hands-on attention. We understand how painful the process of recovering from a burn injury can be and we want you to be able to focus on your recovery rather than worrying about delays or possible denial of your insurance claims.

Scald burns: These types of burns occur when the skin comes in contact with hot liquids over 120 degrees. Skin will burn through the tissue and down to the bone within 5 seconds if exposed to a temperature of 140 degrees.
Electrical burns: These types of burns occur when the body comes in contact with an electrical current. Electrical burns cause damage to the skin, tissue and internal organs, including the heart.
Chemical burns: Chemical burns occur when a strong acid or base comes in direct contact with the skin.
Gas explosion burn: Gas explosions on a job site are the cause of some of the most serious burn injuries. Gas explosions occur when there is a gas leak that comes in contact with an ignition source.
