Serious Burns Deserve Serious Legal Help
A severe burn injury is one of the most painful, traumatic, and life-altering injuries a person can suffer. Beyond the intense physical pain, burns can lead to disfigurement, emotional trauma, and financial devastation.
At Andriacchi Law, we help burn victims across Marquette and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula get the compensation they need for medical care, lost wages, and the difficult journey of rebuilding their lives.
Types of Burn Injury Cases We Handle
Burn injuries can happen anywhere — at work, at home, in public places, or on the road. We represent victims injured due to:
- Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents
- Defective products (like faulty appliances, batteries, or industrial equipment)
- Electrical accidents and fires
- Workplace explosions or chemical burns
- Unsafe rental properties (violations of fire codes)
- Construction site incidents
- Premises liability involving fires or scalding hazards
No matter how it happened, if someone’s negligence caused your burn injury, we’re here to hold them accountable.
Degrees of Burns and Their Impact
Burns are classified into categories based on severity:
- First-degree burns: Affect the outer layer of skin (painful, but often heal without major medical care)
- Second-degree burns: Deeper burns that may cause blistering and require medical treatment
- Third-degree burns: Destroy deeper tissues and require skin grafts, surgeries, and long-term rehabilitation
Severe burns often lead to:
- Permanent scarring and disfigurement
- Nerve damage
- Infections and hospitalizations
- Emotional trauma and PTSD
- Lifelong pain and mobility challenges
We fight to make sure your settlement reflects the full human cost of what you’ve endured.
What Compensation Can You Recover for a Burn Injury?
Burn injury victims may be eligible to recover:
- Medical bills and future medical needs (surgeries, rehabilitation, therapy)
- Lost wages and reduced earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Scarring and disfigurement damages
- Emotional trauma and mental health treatment
- Disability and loss of quality of life
- Wrongful death damages for fatal burns
Burn cases can involve high medical costs — you need a lawyer who knows how to fight for the full value of your claim.
