Orlando Burn Injury Lawyer

Burn injuries are some of the most painful and life-altering types of trauma a person can experience. Victims often face long hospital stays, multiple surgeries, and lasting emotional scars. If you or someone you love was burned due to negligence, an experienced Orlando burn injury lawyer at Spencer Morgan Law can help you pursue justice and secure compensation for your physical, emotional, and financial recovery.

Understanding Burn Injuries

Burn injuries can result from car accidents, electrical malfunctions, unsafe premises, or workplace hazards. They often cause significant pain and require extensive medical care such as skin grafts, reconstructive surgery, and rehabilitation. Beyond physical recovery, many victims also struggle with emotional trauma and reduced quality of life. Spencer Morgan Law works closely with burn experts and medical professionals to fully assess your injuries and the long-term costs associated with your treatment.

Common Causes of Burn Injuries

• Car crashes and vehicle explosions
• Electrical accidents or faulty wiring
• Scalding from hot water or steam
• Workplace or construction fires
• Restaurant or kitchen accidents
• Defective products or appliances

Our firm investigates every possible cause and identifies all responsible parties, from negligent property owners to manufacturers of unsafe equipment.

Types and Severity of Burns

Burns are classified into categories based on depth and severity:

First-degree burns affect only the outer layer of skin and typically heal without major medical treatment.

Second-degree burns damage deeper skin layers and often cause blistering, scarring, and intense pain.

Third-degree burns destroy skin and tissue entirely, often requiring skin grafts and long-term rehabilitation.

In some cases, burns may also damage muscles, nerves, or internal organs, leading to lifelong complications.

Steps to Take After a Burn Injury

1. Seek immediate medical care or emergency treatment.
2. Report the incident to authorities or your employer if applicable.
3. Document your injuries with photos and medical reports.
4. Save receipts, treatment plans, and related expenses.
5. Avoid speaking with insurance adjusters until you consult your lawyer.
6. Contact Spencer Morgan Law for a free case evaluation.

• Long-term medical care and therapy

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do immediately after suffering a burn injury?

Seek emergency medical care, then contact a lawyer to discuss your options once your condition is stable. Proper documentation and evidence collection are essential.

Can I sue for burns caused by defective products?

Yes. If a product malfunctioned or lacked proper safety warnings, you may have a product liability claim against the manufacturer or distributor.

How long do I have to file a burn injury claim in Florida?

You typically have two years from the date of injury to file. However, acting sooner helps preserve evidence and witness testimony.

Can I recover compensation for emotional trauma or disfigurement?

Absolutely. Pain, suffering, and emotional distress are valid components of burn injury claims and often make up a significant portion of your compensation.

What if I was burned at work?

You may qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. However, if another company or contractor was negligent, you may also pursue a separate personal injury claim.
