Burn Injuries

When a Burn Injury Changes Everything

Burn injuries are some of the most painful and physically demanding injuries a person can experience. Beyond the initial trauma, many burn survivors face months or years of treatment, including surgeries, skin grafts, physical therapy, and psychological support to cope with scarring and the trauma of the event itself. If your injury happened because of someone else’s negligence, you shouldn’t have to carry the cost of that recovery alone.

Shulman Rogers represents burn injury victims across Maryland, D.C., and Virginia, working to identify what caused the injury and who should be held accountable, whether that’s a property owner, an employer, a manufacturer, or another driver.

Common Causes of Burn Injuries

Burn injuries can happen in a range of settings, including:

• Car accidents involving fire or explosion
• Workplace accidents, particularly in industrial or restaurant settings
• Defective products, including appliances and electronics
• Chemical exposure
• Electrical accidents
• Fires caused by unsafe property conditions

The Real Cost of a Burn Injury

Severe burns often require ongoing care long after the initial injury has healed on the surface. When we build a case, we account for:

• Emergency treatment, surgeries, and skin graft procedures
• Long-term physical therapy and rehabilitation
• Scarring, disfigurement, and the emotional impact that comes with it
• Lost wages during recovery and any long-term impact on your ability to work
• Pain and suffering, which is often significant with burn injuries

How We Approach These Cases

Burn injury cases often involve multiple parties and layers of responsibility, especially when a defective product or unsafe workplace is involved. Our attorneys dig into what happened, working with fire investigators, medical experts, and engineers when needed to determine the cause and build a case that holds the right party accountable.

We know that recovering from a burn injury takes time, patience, and support. Our role is to handle the legal side of things so you can focus on healing, and to make sure the compensation you receive actually reflects what you’ve been through.
