Been Burned In an Accident? Our Arkansas Burn Injury Lawyers Will Fight For You!

Burn injuries can change your life in an instant, leaving you with painful wounds, mounting medical bills, and uncertainty about your future.

If someone else’s negligence caused your burn injury in Arkansas, you have the right to seek compensation for your losses.

We at Shamieh Law fight for Arkansas burn injury victims to hold negligent parties accountable and recover the compensation you need to move forward.

When You Need a Burn Injury Lawyer in Arkansas

Serious Burns Require Legal Support

Second degree burns and third degree burns often require extensive medical treatment that can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

These severe burns damage deep layers of skin and tissue, requiring surgeries, skin grafts, and long-term rehabilitation.

When your burn injury resulted from someone else’s careless actions, you shouldn’t have to pay for these costs yourself.

A personal injury lawyer can review your case and determine if you have grounds to file a claim against the responsible party.

Burn injury cases become legally complex when multiple parties share fault or when insurance companies dispute the severity of your injuries.

Understanding Your Rights After a Burn Injury

Arkansas law gives burn injury victims a limited time to file a personal injury claim.

You need to act quickly to protect your legal rights and preserve evidence while it’s still available.

Many burn victims don’t realize they can hold others accountable for injuries caused by defective products, unsafe work conditions, or negligent property maintenance.

An injury lawyer familiar with Arkansas personal injury law knows how to identify all potentially liable parties and build a strong case on your behalf.

The sooner you contact a burn injury attorney, the better your chances of recovering fair compensation for your injuries.

How Our Burn Injury Attorneys, Who Have Recovered Over $200 Million In Compensation, Help Arkansas Victims

Investigating Your Accident

We dig into the details that matter, tracking down surveillance footage before it gets erased and interviewing witnesses while their memories stay fresh.

Our team examines everything from maintenance records that reveal ignored safety violations to training logs that show workers never received proper instruction on handling dangerous equipment.

When a company claims your injuries resulted from your own carelessness, we find the evidence that tells the real story.

Gathering Critical Evidence

Evidence disappears faster than you might think, and insurance companies know it.

We move quickly to photograph burn patterns, preserve defective products, and secure expert analysis before anyone can clean up the accident scene or “lose” important documents.

That sprinkler system that failed during the fire, the frayed electrical wiring hidden behind a wall, or the chemical storage violation buried in paperwork becomes the proof that wins your case.

Working with Medical Professionals

Burn injuries are complex, and insurance adjusters love to downplay how serious they really are.

We bring in medical doctors who understand burn treatment to explain exactly what you’re facing: how many more surgeries you’ll need, what percentage of function you’ll lose, and why that scarring will require specialized care for years.

When the insurance company tries to argue you’ll be fine in six months, our medical professionals set the record straight.

Calculating All Your Damages

That $50,000 hospital bill is just the beginning of your financial losses from a serious burn injury.

We account for everything: the physical therapy appointments you’ll attend for the next two years, the income you’ll never earn because you can’t return to your previous job, the psychological counseling you need to cope with trauma and scarring, and the pain you endure every single day.

Insurance companies hope you’ll focus only on your immediate medical bills and forget about future costs, but we make sure they pay for the full impact of what they’ve done to your life.

Handling Insurance Companies

Within 48 hours of your accident, an insurance adjuster will probably call with a friendly voice and a recording device, hoping you’ll say something they can use against you later.

We shut that down immediately by taking over all communication so you can’t be tricked into undermining your own claim.

While you’re focused on healing, we’re dealing with the adjuster’s attempts to delay your claim, dispute your medical treatment, and pressure you into a quick settlement that’s nowhere near what you deserve.

Negotiating Fair Settlements

Insurance companies make their first offer low because most people don’t know any better and accept it out of desperation.

We respond with detailed demand packages that include medical records, expert opinions, photographic evidence, and documentation of every dollar you’ve lost, forcing them to take your claim seriously.

Our negotiation approach is straightforward: we show them exactly what a jury would award you at trial, and they typically decide settling makes more financial sense than gambling in court.

Taking Your Case to Trial

Some insurance companies need to see that you’re willing to go all the way before they’ll make a fair offer.

We prepare every case as if it’s going to trial from day one, which means we’re not bluffing when we tell them we’ll see them in court.

Once they realize we’ve already lined up our witnesses, prepared our evidence, and blocked out dates on the trial calendar, settlement negotiations suddenly become much more productive.

Protecting Your Legal Rights

Arkansas’s statute of limitations creates a ticking clock on your right to file a claim, and insurance companies will stall as long as possible hoping you’ll miss the deadline.

We file all necessary paperwork well before any deadlines expire and block every attempt to get you to sign away rights you don’t even know you have.

That waiver the insurance company wants you to sign giving them access to your entire medical history, or that release form disguised as routine paperwork, gets stopped before it can damage your case.

Guiding You Through the Process

Legal proceedings involve confusing terminology, strict deadlines, and procedures that make no sense to anyone who hasn’t been through it before.

We translate the legal jargon into plain English, warn you about what’s coming next, and make sure you understand every decision before we move forward.

You’ll never wonder what’s happening with your case or feel left in the dark about where things stand.

Types of Burn Injury Cases We Handle in Arkansas

Workplace and Industrial Burns

Construction accidents, oil and gas accidents, and industrial explosions cause devastating burn injuries when employers fail to provide proper safety equipment or training.

Workers’ compensation often doesn’t fully cover your losses, which is why exploring all legal options matters.

Vehicle Fire Burns

Car accidents, truck accidents, and motorcycle accidents can result in severe burns when vehicles catch fire or fuel ignites during collisions.

These cases often involve multiple liable parties including negligent drivers and vehicle manufacturers.

Chemical Burns

Exposure to acids, industrial solvents, or hazardous chemicals causes serious damage when employers fail to provide protective equipment or when products lack proper safety warnings.

Chemical burns can continue damaging tissue long after the initial contact.

Electrical Burns

Contact with power lines, faulty wiring, or defective electrical equipment causes burns that damage deep tissue and nerves.

Property owners and employers must maintain electrical systems properly to prevent these devastating injuries.

Scald Burns

Hot liquids and steam cause frequent burn injuries in restaurants, nursing homes, and daycare centers when staff fail to monitor temperatures or supervise properly.

These burns are often preventable with proper safety protocols.

Defective Product Burns

E-cigarettes, vape pens, appliances with electrical defects, and other faulty products can cause serious burns when manufacturers fail their duty to design safe products.

Product liability claims hold these companies accountable for their dangerous products.

Premises Liability Burns

Property owners must maintain safe conditions and warn visitors about burn hazards like exposed wiring, building code violations, or fire risks.

Negligent property maintenance puts visitors at serious risk.

Flash and Explosion Burns

Industrial explosions, gas leaks, and flash fires cause catastrophic burns that often affect large portions of the body.

These incidents typically result from serious safety violations or equipment failures.

Radiation and Thermal Burns

Exposure to extreme heat, radiation, or other thermal sources causes burns in various work settings and accidents.

Other Burn Injuries

Burn injuries happen in countless ways, and each case deserves careful legal attention.

No matter how your burn injury occurred, if someone else’s negligence played a role, you have the right to pursue compensation for your losses.

What Compensation Can You Recover for Burn Injuries?

Medical Expenses and Ongoing Treatment

Your burn injury claim should cover all medical expenses from emergency treatment to future reconstructive surgeries, including hospital stays, medications, physical therapy, and specialized wound care.

Many burn victims require multiple skin graft procedures and years of ongoing treatment that add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Lost Wages and Future Earning Capacity

Severe burns often keep victims out of work for extended periods, and some people can’t return to their previous jobs due to physical limitations or scarring.

Your claim includes both income you’ve already lost and future earnings you’ll miss out on, including reduced career advancement opportunities.

Pain and Suffering

The physical pain from burn injuries is intense and long-lasting, while victims also experience emotional trauma, anxiety about scarring, and fear of medical procedures.

Arkansas law allows you to seek compensation for these non-economic damages, though insurance companies typically dispute them because they’re harder to quantify than medical bills.

Disfigurement and Scarring

Permanent scarring from burn injuries affects your appearance, self-confidence, employment opportunities, and personal relationships in ways that last a lifetime.

The visible nature of burn scars often leads to stares, questions, and discrimination that compound the trauma of the original injury.

Punitive Damages

When a defendant’s actions show gross negligence or willful disregard for safety, Arkansas courts can award punitive damages designed to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar conduct.

These damages go beyond compensating your losses and can significantly increase the total award in cases involving particularly reckless behavior.

Wrongful Death Damages

If your loved one died from burn injuries, family members can pursue compensation for funeral expenses, loss of financial support, loss of companionship, and the pain your family endures.

Wrongful death claims ensure that families aren’t left struggling financially while the responsible party faces no consequences.

Other Expenses

Burn injury claims can also include home and vehicle modifications for accessibility, in-home nursing care, mental health treatment for PTSD and depression, loss of consortium for affected spouses, and replacement of property destroyed in the incident.

Every expense connected to your burn injury deserves consideration when calculating fair compensation.

You Pay Nothing Unless We Win Your Case

At Shamieh Law, we believe the cost of quality representation should not hold you back from pursuing the compensation you need and deserve. We understand you may have lost your main source of income or vehicle after an accident and could also be facing substantial medical bills.

We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay anything unless we win your case. Contingency fees are common agreements between the lawyer and the client in which the attorney does not collect a fee unless they win or settle the case.

The fee is typically calculated as a percentage of the compensation awarded. This arrangement allows clients with limited financial resources to access legal representation without paying out-of-pocket fees. So, you owe us nothing unless we win.
