At Witherington Injury Law, we focus on personal injury and have guided many clients through complex recovery after thermal, chemical, and electrical burns.

We build every case with the end in mind. That means gathering the right specialists, documenting the full range of damages, and presenting a clear story of fault and impact.

Local insight and responsive support

From collision scenes on I-40 to apartment fires and workplace incidents in Mount Juliet, we know how to secure evidence early, obtain incident reports, and locate witnesses. We coordinate with your treating physicians to ensure that grafts, reconstructive procedures, and therapy plans are fully reflected in your claim so insurers cannot dismiss your pain, scarring, or functional limitations.

Types of Burn Injury Cases We Handle

Burn injuries can arise in many ways. Common case types we investigate and pursue include:

• Residential and apartment fires caused by negligent maintenance, faulty wiring, or defective appliances
• Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents leading to post-crash fires or contact burns
• Scald injuries from dangerously hot water in rental housing, hotels, or businesses
• Workplace and industrial burns, including chemical and electrical exposure
• Product defects that overheat, ignite, or explode
• Restaurant and commercial kitchen scalds or grease fires
• Daycare or nursing facility negligence resulting in scalds or contact burns

Degrees of burns and medical documentation

Whether a physician records partial thickness or full thickness injury, we make sure charts, photographs, and surgical plans are preserved. We document pain management, infection risk, grafting, physical therapy, psychological counseling, and any reconstructive stages you face so the insurer sees the complete picture of your recovery.

Who Pays After a Burn Injury

The answer depends on how the injury occurred. In many cases, liability falls on a negligent driver, property owner, manufacturer, landlord, contractor, or another at-fault party. Their insurance policy is typically the first source of recovery. When coverage is inadequate, we explore additional policies such as umbrella coverage, business policies, or your own uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage if a vehicle was involved.

We also address medical payment benefits and coordinate liens from health insurers and providers. Our goal is to maximize your net recovery by pressing responsible parties while helping reduce avoidable deductions from your settlement or verdict.

Dealing with insurance adjusters

Insurers often rush to close burn cases before the full extent of scarring and future care is known. We stop low offers by documenting future surgeries, specialist follow-ups, lost earning capacity, and the day-to-day impact of pain and mobility limitations. If an insurer refuses to be fair, we are prepared to file suit and pursue your claim in court.

What Compensation Can Be Recovered

Every case is unique, but recoverable damages in a burn injury case can include:

• Past and future medical bills, including surgeries, grafts, therapy, and counseling
• Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity
• Out-of-pocket costs for transportation, dressings, and home modifications
• Physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life
• Disfigurement and scarring
• Property damage occurs when a fire or explosion destroys personal items

We quantify these losses using medical opinions, vocational assessments, life care plans, and your own narrative of how the injury changed daily life.
