Severe Burns

Houston Burn Injury Claim Lawyer

According to the national publication Jury Verdict Report, juries typically award at least $1 million in 96% of catastrophic burn injury claims that result from business negligence, defective products, or dangerous conditions on property. Clearly, juries recognize the severe pain and the disfigurement caused by burns. Unfortunately, however, many burn victims and their families don't understand that insurance companies often offer significantly lower settlements in an effort to protect their own financial interests.

At the law offices of Hartley Hampton, P.C., we understand what a serious or disfiguring burn injury can mean to your life. Medical research has shown that victims of third-degree burns are likely to continue to require skin grafts or other surgery for nearly 20 years following the burn incident. We rely on a team of professional experts to determine the affect that third-degree burns, scarring, disfigurement, and loss of breath capacity due to smoke inhalation will have on the quality of your life, and that of your family.

If a severe burn has affected you or a member of your family, contact Hartley Hampton, P.C., to schedule a no-cost consultation.
