Legal Knowledge

Burn injury cases are complex. Each state has different legal requirements and statutes of limitations for burn injury cases. However, when you hire an experienced attorney, you can be confident they have the legal knowledge to pursue your case and get you the best outcome. Our burn injury lawyers in Nevada and California are well aware of the statutes, nuances, and rules governing both states’ civil matters.

To be precise, according to the statute of limitations in California, victims have two years to claim compensation after sustaining burn injuries. You can file a claim and get compensated for damages like medical expenses, lost wages, and ongoing treatment, among others. However, if the negligence for burns stems from a government agency, you must file a with the government body within six months before filing the claim in court.

Investigate Your Legal Claim

Another reason to work with an experienced burn injury lawyer is that they can investigate your claim in-depth and get you the compensation you are entitled to. After experiencing serious burns, you may not be in the position to collect evidence or witness statements by yourself.

But you may then have a weak case with no proper evidence, further reducing your chances of getting a fair amount of compensation. However, a lawyer will investigate your case in-depth. We work alongside medical examiners, law enforcement officials, and even accident reconstruction experts to prove our clients’ claims beyond any doubt.
