At The Stewart Law Firm, PLLC, we believe that no one should have to pay for the consequences of someone else’s mistakes. If you or someone you love has suffered a serious burn injury through no fault of your own, our Austin burn injury attorney is ready to help you fight for maximum compensation.

Burn Injuries Can Have Lasting Consequences

According to the American Burn Association, more than 450,000 burn injuries requiring medical attention occur each year in the United States. A burn is tissue damage that can be caused by heat, fire or chemicals. Burn injuries can be painful and require extensive reconstructive surgery for years to come. Burns often result in disfigurement and emotional injuries, as well. Our Austin burn injury lawyer is committed to helping burn victims obtain fair compensation for their injuries.

Consequences of burn injuries include:

• Loss of skin elasticity
• Risk of bacterial infections
• Lack of skin regeneration
• Diminished sense of touch
• Inability to perspire
