Burn Injuries Let Us Help You Take Back Control

Burn Injury Attorney in Plano

Trial-Tested Advocacy for Severe Burn Injuries

Severe burns can require extensive treatment and leave permanent scarring, disfigurement, and limitations that affect daily life. Zen Law Firm represents accident victims in Plano, across Collin and Denton Counties, and throughout the DFW metroplex when another party’s negligence may have caused a catastrophic injury. We understand that the consequences can continue long after the initial medical emergency.

Jason A. Zendeh Del previously worked in the Fort Bend County and Tarrant County district attorney’s offices. That experience informs how we assess evidence and prepare cases for trial. Our firm has handled more than 100 trials, and we apply that courtroom experience to serious injury claims while developing a strategy around the facts and losses in each case.

Burn injuries commonly result from:

Compensation in a Severe Burn Injury Claim

The nature and extent of a burn determine which losses must be evaluated. A claim may need to account for immediate treatment, future medical care, reduced earning ability, and lasting disfigurement. Available compensation depends on the evidence, responsible parties, insurance coverage, and damages recoverable under Texas law.

Recoverable damages may include:

Medical costs: Past expenses, anticipated treatment, long-term care, adaptive equipment, and necessary home modifications.
Income losses: Lost wages and loss of earning capacity when the injury limits future employment.
Personal losses: Pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, and disfigurement.
Exemplary damages: Additional damages that may apply when evidence establishes gross negligence or intentional harm.

Texas generally doesn’t cap economic or noneconomic damages in claims involving traffic collisions, premises liability, and most other accidents. Noneconomic damages in medical malpractice cases are subject to statutory caps. The applicable rules depend on how the burn occurred and the legal basis for the claim.

Liability for Accidents That Cause Burn Injuries

Liability depends on how the accident happened, the legal duty each party owed, and the available evidence. A burn injury claim may involve one or several parties whose conduct contributed to the harm. Identifying the correct claim path is especially important when a dangerous product, unsafe property, or work-related incident is involved.

Potentially responsible parties may include:

An employer connected to an unsafe workplace incident
A manufacturer responsible for a defective product
A property owner responsible for unsafe conditions
A driver whose negligence caused a collision
Another person or business whose actions caused the injury

For burns suffered at work, workers’ compensation may cover medical expenses and a portion of lost wages. An injured worker may also be able to bring a direct claim against an employer that didn’t carry workers’ compensation coverage. The available options depend on the employer’s coverage, the cause of the incident, and whether another party contributed to the injury.

Texas Deadlines & Fault Rules for Plano Burn Claims

Most negligence-based lawsuits in Texas must be filed within two years of the injury date, but not every claim follows the same timeline. For an injured minor, the two-year period generally begins when the minor turns 18. Claims involving a Texas governmental unit can also carry separate written-notice requirements that arise before the filing deadline.

Texas uses proportionate responsibility, which assigns each party a percentage of fault. An injured person who is 50% or less at fault can have a recovery reduced by that percentage. A person found 51% or more at fault is generally barred from recovering damages.

Venue, notice obligations, and filing deadlines must be evaluated based on the specific facts. We represent Plano accident victims in Collin County civil courts and address the procedural requirements that apply to their claims.
