- Car and truck accidents involving fire or chemical leaks
- Motorcycle accidents
- Equipment or other product failures
- Chemical accidents and exposure at work
- Electrical burns resulting from faulty work
- Restaurants or other locations with kitchens
- Medical malpractice cases related to radiation burns
Every burn is a serious injury requiring careful and immediate attention. The aftermath can include scars, nerve damage, chronic pain, and disability.
Our burn injury attorney in Fairfax helps you seek a claim that provides the compensation you need to deal with these new challenges. Review our FAQs for more information today.
Burn Degrees Matter
Our law firm handles serious injuries and cases of burns, including second and third-degree burns. Second-degree burns often cause damage to the dermis, the second layer of skin, often leading to blistering, swelling, and intense pain.
Third-degree burns, some of the most serious, cause damage to the bones, muscles, and tissue, leading to severe disability and injury. If you suffer from one of these forms, contact MartinWren, P.C.

Proving Fault in a Burn Injury Case
One of the tasks our burn injury lawyer in Fairfax handles for you is proving who is at fault for your losses. Fault depends on our ability to prove that someone else owed you a duty of care and failed in it.
When that happened, you suffered an accident that caused your injuries. To prove this occurred in your case, count on our attorneys to gather evidence to support your claim in numerous ways.
This starts with accident reports and witness statements. We speak to all of those involved to determine why the incident occurred. Common reasons include poor maintenance, a lack of safety equipment or training, or reckless operation of a vehicle. We can also turn to industry experts to gather additional insight and recreate the incident.
The goal is to know how the accident happened so we can then assign fault to all parties involved. If you were in a truck accident, the trucking company may be at fault.
If you were hurt in a fire at work, a third-party contractor may hold responsibility for your injuries. Our verdicts & settlements show our success stories.
What Makes Burn Injuries Challenging Personal Injury Claims
Our extensive experience enables our legal team to fight for you across all situations. A core component of that is understanding how this incident is impacting your life and will continue to do so. We need to get this right for you.
We work to overcome challenges such as:
- Long-term implications for your mental health from the accident and the losses you have suffered
- Compensation for the ongoing pain you may have from nerve damage
- Accurately valuing compensation for disfigurement
- Overcoming disputes over fault
- Determine limitations on mobility, your ability to work, or the impact on relationships
Many victims of burn injuries face challenges demonstrating the sheer impact of their incident and losses. We make it our priority to learn from you, your family, your employer, and industry experts about what you are facing.
Fighting for maximum compensation is a personal process. It is one we do well.

Types of Damages Owed in a Burn Injury Case
The extent of your injuries, coupled with the cause of the accident, determines the damages owed to you. With our extensive experience in pursuing burn cases like yours, we better understand the implications and losses you are facing.
Expect us to be aggressive in recovering damages for you. That may include:
- Emergency medical costs at the time of the accident
- Hospitalization, surgeries, treatment, and medications for immediate recovery
- Future medical and cosmetic procedures
- Ongoing healthcare needs, including in-home help
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma and mental anguish
- Chronic pain development
- Disfigurement
- Permanent disability
- Inconvenience, both past and future
No matter how serious your injuries are, fair compensation cannot erase what someone else did to you. It can help you pursue advanced medical, emotional, and mental health care and carve out a solid future for you. Do not underestimate the extent of your claim or what others should pay you for your losses.
Take Action Before the Statute of Limitations Runs Out
Victims of serious injuries must act quickly to demonstrate their losses and pursue financial compensation. This typically begins with seeking a settlement from the insurance company. Most of our evidence-based claims settle out of court quickly for you.
However, in situations of dispute over the incident or value, we will file a lawsuit on your behalf. The Virginia statute of limitations (Code of Virginia Code – Chapter 4) in most personal injury cases is two years from the date of the incident. This is not a lot of time to work with for serious cases with complicated recoveries.
Your claim may also be subject to notice periods that are even shorter.
There are a few limitations around this statute of limitations. If you fail to act, the court may not hear your case, and you could suffer unfairly for years to come. Let us pursue a comprehensive settlement now and hold those who hurt you accountable.
