Burn Injury Claims

Claiming compensation for catastrophic injuries

Our Services

What is a burn injury?

Accidents in work that involve burning usually involve faulty equipment or a lack of required training and if you work in a restaurant or kitchen it is often one of the hazards of the job.

But if your accident occurs because the correct safety precautions haven’t been taken at work or if you suffered your burn injury in an accident that wasn’t your fault, such as on a sunbed, then there is a good chance that you are entitled to compensation.

Burn injuries can vastly vary depending on the severity and the type of burn, from electrical burns to scalding from hot water or oil, to simple exposure to a heat source for too long that begins to destroy skin tissue and nerve endings.

How can we help?

By bringing your claim to us we promise to do our utmost to get you the compensation that you deserve.

You will be assigned a personal claim handler who will guide you through your claim. They will provide you with regular updates throughout and can answer any questions or concerns you have. We can offer a contactless personal injury legal service to you.

Whether you need treatment, a personal carer, a temporary replacement vehicle or other, we can arrange it for you as part of our stress-free claim service to you.

Frequently asked questions

After an accident, your injuries may require treatment that need to be paid for. Your injuries may force you to take time off work, resulting in loss of earnings. If you were involved in a road traffic accident and your car has been written off or requires repairs, you would have to pay for a temporary replacement vehicle to continue with your day-to-day. But should you pay the price for someone else's fault?

By claiming compensation, we will help you claim back as much of what you lost as possible as a result of the accident.

Every accident has a limitation period. This is the length of time allowed for you to start your claim before it expires. For most accidents, you will have 3 years after the accident to claim. If it happened in air or at sea, then you have 2 years to claim.

If you are worried about whether you can still make a claim or not, give us a call and speak to one of our claim advisors. Our first line call handlers are highly experienced and can advise you more appropriately according to your case.

People of all ages can claim compensation. The only limitation is that the UK law prevents anyone under the age of 18 years from filing their own personal injury claim. Instead, a parent or legal guardian can represent the child and file a compensation claim on behalf of the child.

You are welcome to claim after making a full recovery, as long as your claim is made within the time permitted for your accident (known as the limitation period).

Only 3% of cases we handle go to trial. The court is seen as a last resort when neither side can come to an agreement on liability (the fault of the accident), or settlement offer, or other.

We will always try to do everything we can to settle a case before it reaches the court. In the event it does reach the court, we will fully support and prepare you for this.
