Burn Injuries & Explosions FAQs
How Do I Know if I Have a Valid Claim After a Burn Injury or Explosion?
If your injuries were caused by someone else’s negligence, such as an unsafe worksite, a defective product, or improper maintenance, you may have a strong legal claim. At Law Done Right®, Joe and Erik personally review every detail to determine who is responsible. We examine evidence, safety records, and witness accounts to ensure the truth comes to light and that you have a solid foundation for pursuing compensation.
What Should I Do if My Employer or an Insurance Company Pressures Me to Settle Quickly?
Don’t rush into signing anything. Insurance companies and employers often aim to minimize their payouts. Before agreeing to any settlement, reach out to us. Joe and Erik will evaluate your situation, explain what your case may actually be worth, and ensure you aren’t shortchanged. We’ve seen too many clients accept less than they deserve (and need to rebuild their lives) simply because they didn’t have experienced representation early enough.
How Long Do I Have to File a Burn Injury or Explosion Claim in Texas?
Generally, the statute of limitations in Texas gives you two years from the date of injury to file a claim. However, certain circumstances, such as delayed discovery of injuries or involvement of government entities, can affect this timeline. We urge you to contact Joe or Erik as soon as possible so we can preserve crucial evidence and file before deadlines expire.
