    We’re proud to fight for our neighbors. Meet the attorneys from your community.

    Anyone who’s suffered a burn injury knows how severe the damage can be. Whether the injury resulted from fire, steam, or chemicals, a burn of any caliber can leave you with lasting damage, including emotional distress, scars, and nerve damage, all of which come with their fair share of medical expenses. Even minor burns, such as a burn from accidentally touching a hot stove for a brief moment, can be excruciating, but second and third-degree burns almost always require a visit to the hospital. As we know, this is often not an inexpensive endeavor, and the victim's pain is only further burdened by a mountain of expenses.

    In some cases, third-party negligence can create a situation where someone suffers a burn injury. Fortunately, state laws allow the victim to seek legal action against the negligent party to recover compensation equal to the total amount of damage they sustained. For example, if a property owner fails to repair a water heater that suddenly sends steam into an unsuspecting victim, the victim can file a lawsuit against the property owner for their negligence. The injured party can recover compensation for their medical expenses, lost wages, permanent damage, and other ways the accident caused them harm.

    There are many situations like this, but they don’t always resolve smoothly. Insurance companies and negligent individuals won’t always grant victims their rightful compensation for one reason or another, leaving them to figure out a way to pay for their expenses out of pocket. With rising medical costs and the price of a lasting scar from a burn injury combined, a denial or diminished compensation offer becomes a nightmare for the victim and their family, and they may quickly find themselves under a significant financial burden to complement their physical and mental damage. While the odds may seem grim, victims of burn injuries from third-party negligence do have one ally in their corner—one that can greatly improve their odds of recovering the fullest extent of what they're entitled to.

    By retaining an attorney after a burn injury, you gain their legal knowledge, experience, and expertise, greatly increasing your odds of holding the negligent party accountable. However, you can’t just hire any attorney; you’ll need one with the resources to get you across the finish line, even if you have to take your case to trial. There might be thousands of law firms out there, but there’s only one who vows to never settle for less than you deserve and, more importantly, means it every single time. That firm? Morgan & Morgan, and we’re uniquely capable of helping Illinois recover every penny of their burn injury compensation.

    I spoke with a very nice lady named Alex. She was very apologetic, asked more questions than a prior firm I spoke with about my Social Security appeal. She was very thorough and actually asked more questions than Social Security did. They accepted my case and I am looking forward to working with them to see what can be done about my appeal.
