What Can You Recover After a Serious Burn?
The average burn injury case we take settles for $500,000 to $10 million, and the catastrophic ones define the top of that range. Burn care is the most expensive medicine there is, and every dollar of it belongs in the claim.
Bigger and faster settlements come from trial preparation that starts the day you sign, and from a firm that, so far, has never lost.
With us, you speak directly with your attorney, and our RN Medical Director manages your medical care from day one, insurance or no insurance. There's no fee unless we win. Contact us now for a free consultation.
Why Burn Cases Are Different
The medicine is staged, debridement, grafts, revisions, therapy, so the damages must be projected, not tallied. The scarring is permanent and outside Colorado's non-economic cap as disfigurement, which reshapes case value. And the causes are investigable: fire-origin analysis, code compliance, product forensics. Every serious burn deserves a cause investigation, because "accident" is usually a conclusion someone reached too fast. See our burn injury playbook for the full framework.
Severe burns are catastrophic injuries, valued through the lifetime-cost framework of our catastrophic injury playbook.
Where Aurora's Burns Happen
Aging rental stock along Colfax, Havana, and Peoria, space heaters, overloaded wiring, missing alarms, and water heaters set to scald. Job sites across the construction boom on the city's east side, flash fires, hot work, electrical arcs. Kitchens and industry along the I-70 corridor. The victims are treated at the Anschutz campus burn center, whose records and physicians anchor both the medical and the damages case, minutes from our office.
How We Build a Burn Case
Cause and origin first: the fire department's investigation, our own origin expert where needed, the appliance or wiring preserved before a landlord's cleanout. Code and statute analysis, smoke alarms, water-heater settings, egress. Then the long medical build with the burn team: reconstruction timeline, scarring documentation at every stage, and the psychological injury that burn survivors carry and juries credit.
Damages, Venue, and Deadlines
Under HB24-1472, non-economic damages are capped at $1.5 million (2025); economic damages and physical impairment damages are uncapped, and a fatal incident carries the $2,125,000 wrongful death cap. Disfigurement's place outside the cap makes burn cases unlike any other valuation. Deadline: generally two years (three where a vehicle was involved); fire scenes are cleared in days. Venue: Arapahoe or Adams County District Court by location. If trial is what it takes, we are ready.
