Burn Injury Lawyer in Los Angeles

Serious burns change how you work, sleep, move, and live. Lederer & Nojima are former insurance defense attorneys who know how insurers try to reduce burn injury claims.

01

Former Insurance Defense

We know how insurers attack burn claims, from disputed causation to arguments that scarring is minor or treatment is excessive.

02

Serious Injury Proof

Burn cases need medical, visual, and expert evidence. We build the proof before the insurer reduces the injury to a billing dispute.

03

No Fee Unless We Win

No upfront cost. Our fee comes from your recovery. If we do not win, you owe us nothing.

Burn Injuries Require Fast, Detailed Proof

Burns can come from fire, hot liquids, steam, chemicals, electricity, radiation, defective products, unsafe property, explosions, vehicle crashes, workplace accidents, or negligent maintenance. The source matters because it may point to a property owner, contractor, manufacturer, employer, driver, or utility company.

First degree, second degree, and third degree burns can each create real pain and lasting damage. Severe burns may require emergency care, wound care, skin grafts, infection treatment, scar revision, therapy, pain management, and counseling. The cost can continue long after the wound closes.

Insurers often argue that the burn healed, that the scarring is not severe, that treatment was too expensive, or that a future procedure is cosmetic. We know those arguments because we used to defend insurance companies. Now we prepare the evidence they try to avoid.

Types of Burn Injury Cases We Handle

Thermal burns from fire, steam, hot surfaces, or scalding liquids
Chemical burns from cleaning products, industrial chemicals, or unsafe storage
Electrical burns from exposed wiring, job site hazards, or defective equipment
Radiation burns from unsafe exposure or negligent treatment settings
Vehicle fire and explosion injuries
Apartment, hotel, restaurant, and workplace burn injuries
Defective product burn claims
Scarring, grafting, infection, and nerve damage claims

What We Do for Burn Injury Clients

01

Preserve Evidence

We secure photos, products, maintenance records, incident reports, fire reports, scene evidence, and witness names.

02

Identify Fault

We determine whether a property owner, driver, contractor, product maker, employer, utility company, or another party caused the burn.

03

Document Treatment

We collect records from emergency care, burn specialists, surgeons, wound care, therapy, counseling, and future care providers.

04

Prove Long Term Harm

We document scarring, sensitivity, grafting, nerve pain, lost income, emotional trauma, and future procedures.

05

Fight the Insurer

We handle adjusters and defense lawyers, prepare the demand, negotiate, and litigate when they refuse fair value.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are burn injury cases valued?
Burn claims are valued by the severity of the burn, scarring, infection risk, surgeries, skin grafts, pain, lost income, future treatment, and the effect on daily life. Photos, medical records, specialist reports, and scar evaluations matter.
What if the burn happened at work?
You may have a workers compensation claim, and you may also have a separate injury claim against a contractor, property owner, equipment maker, or other third party. We look for every possible recovery source.
How long does a burn injury case take?
Serious burn cases often take longer because doctors need time to understand scarring, nerve damage, graft results, and future treatment needs. We do not push for a fast settlement before the full harm is known.
What evidence matters in a burn injury claim?
Photos, incident reports, product information, maintenance records, safety records, witness names, medical records, expert opinions, and proof of future care all matter. Preserve clothing, defective products, and any photos from the scene.
Can an insurer say my burn is not serious if it healed?
Yes. Insurers often focus on surface healing and ignore pain, sensitivity, scarring, infection risk, nerve damage, emotional trauma, and future revision care. We document those losses in detail.
