— EXPERIENCED PENNSYLVANIA AND NEW JERSEY Burn Injury Attorneys
Philadelphia Burn Injury Lawyers
Severe burns are among the most painful and life-altering injuries a person can suffer, often requiring surgeries, skin grafts, and years of recovery. Fritz & Bianculli pursues the full compensation catastrophic burn victims need to rebuild — physically, financially, and emotionally.
Causes of Serious Burn Injuries We Handle
Burns arise from many sources, and we handle them all: fires and explosions, chemical and electrical contact, workplace and industrial accidents, defective products, and vehicle crashes. Because a burn can stem from a product defect, an unsafe property, or a job-site failure, these cases often overlap with our product liability, premises, and workplace practices.
Burn Severity and Long-Term Consequences
Burns are classified by degree, and the most serious — third- and fourth-degree burns — can cause permanent scarring, disfigurement, nerve damage, and disability. The treatment is lengthy and costly, and the emotional toll is real. A claim should reflect all of it.
Compensation for Scarring and Disfigurement
Beyond medical bills and lost income, burn claims account for reconstructive surgery, future care, and the pain, suffering, and permanent scarring or disfigurement a survivor lives with. When a burn happens at work, a third-party claim can recover these damages that workers’ compensation alone will not pay.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a burn injury claim worth?
Serious burns are among the most expensive injuries to treat, so claims account for surgeries, skin grafts, long-term care, scarring and disfigurement, lost income, and pain and suffering. Value depends on burn severity, the cause, and who is liable — an attorney can evaluate your specific case.
Can I sue for a burn injury I suffered at work?
Beyond workers’ comp, you may have a third-party claim if a defective product, another contractor, or a property owner caused the burn. Those claims can recover pain, suffering, and disfigurement damages that workers’ comp does not pay.
What causes give rise to a burn injury lawsuit?
Common bases include fires and explosions, defective products, chemical and electrical hazards, workplace and industrial accidents, and vehicle crashes. If someone else’s negligence or a dangerous product caused the burn, you may have a claim.
What compensation can I recover for scarring and disfigurement?
Permanent scarring and disfigurement are compensable as part of pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life, on top of medical costs and lost earnings. These non-economic damages can be significant given a burn’s lasting physical and emotional impact.
