Burn Injuries

San Jose Burn Injury Lawyers

A student in a local college was working on an experiment in a chemistry lab when the chemicals suddenly erupted into a raging fire that burned the student over 50 percent of his body. Because the school did not have proper procedures in place for labeling and disposing of these volatile chemicals, the attorneys of the Boccardo Law Firm in San Jose, California, pursued a successful personal injury claim on behalf of the injured student.

Our burn injury attorneys have won substantial verdicts and settlements for burn injury victims for decades. Among our most well-known burn injury claims are two cases against the Ford Motor Company involving the Ford Pinto's exploding gas tank.

In 2005, there were more than 1.6 million fires reported in the United States. These fires caused 3,675 deaths, and 17,925 injuries, according to the National Fire Protection Association. But fire accidents are not the only cause of burn injury.

We have won financial compensation for victims of all types of burn injuries, including those caused by:

• House fires
• Car fires
• Explosions
• Electrical burns and electrocution
• Scalds from hot liquids and gases
• Thermal burns from hot surfaces

A burn is one of the most painful injuries to endure. Burn injuries can require multiple skin grafting surgeries and leave permanent, disfiguring scars.
