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 Should I Hire A Burn injury Lawyer in Aurora?
Burn cases are priced by decades of care, grafts, and scarring, numbers only specialists can document credibly. That is why this is specialist work: the traps are procedural, the deadlines are short, and the defense counts on you not knowing either. Your only job should be healing. Pressing every one of those levers is ours.
The consultation is free, and there is no fee unless we win.
How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Burn injury Lawyer?
The structure is simple: free consultation, contingency representation, every expense advanced by us, nothing owed unless we win. You will never write us a check. And because our RN Medical Director arranges treatment paid from the settlement, medical care does not wait on money either.
How Much Is My Burn injury Case Worth?
Most serious burn injury cases we take resolve between $500,000 and $10 million. Value follows documentation, not drama: medical costs current and future, lost income, permanent impairment (uncapped in Colorado), and what the coverage will bear. The strongest files define the top of the range. These are the categories we build.
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.

- Treatment first, and push for a burn-center referral for anything beyond superficial.
- Preserve whatever caused it: the product, clothing, heater, or container.
- Photograph the burns weekly through healing; scarring evidence is valuation evidence.
- Get the fire or incident report and keep every medical record.
- Do not accept early settlement offers; burn costs run for years.
Every one of these steps you can take today, no lawyer required, and each one strengthens whatever comes next. When you are ready for the parts that do need us, the consultation is free.
When Should I Hire a Lawyer?
Earlier than feels necessary. Evidence decays fastest in the first weeks: footage overwrites, scenes change, witnesses scatter, and anything you tell an insurer before representation can be used later. The consultation is free precisely so timing never costs you. Call before you give any statement or sign anything.
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.
