Kissimmee Burn Injuries

It takes just minutes for a spark to become a raging life-threatening fire, capable of destroying homes, causing painful, disfiguring injuries, and even claiming lives.

Victims of burn injuries must deal with both the physical and emotional scars from the fire they endured, along with overwhelming medical bills, lost wages, and more. The mental anguish can be even worse when it’s discovered that the fire was entirely preventable and caused by the another’s negligence — or even deliberately caused in an act of arson, like the Unno Boutique Hotel fire in Osceola County in 2016.

If you or someone you love has suffered a burn injury, our attorneys may be able to help. We sympathy with burn victims and want to help these survivors recover the compensation they deserve for their medical bills, pain and suffering, and other damages.
