Results Matter

  • $5,000,000


    Auto Accident

    A 15-year-old walking to school was hit by a car in front of Chamberlain High School when a small pickup truck ran a red light. After over two years of intense litigation, we secured a $5 million settlement for her, which was 500 times the policy limit of $10,000.

  • $2,300,000


    Wrongful Death

    A boy died of cardiac arrest during youth football practice. The defense argued that our client had a rare form of sickle cell disease, which the medical examiner attributed as the cause of death. This case was aggressively litigated, and Chris Ligori & Associates retained the leading expert on child sickle cell disease in the USA. We successfully demonstrated that the rare form of sickle cell was benign and did not contribute to the death of our client.

  • $2,200,000


    Auto Accident

    Auto Accident: In our client’s car crash case, the defense repeatedly concealed the amount of their policy limits. Once we uncovered the correct policy limit amount, we were able to secure a recovery exceeding those limits.

How Bad is Your Burn Injury?

There are three degrees of severities in burn injury cases, including: 

First-Degree Burns

First-degree burns are not very severe and can often heal within a week. They cause minimal damage to your skin because only the top layer is affected; however, if you get this type of burn, make sure you apply aloe vera gel before going in for treatment.

Second-Degree Burns

The damage that second-degree burns cause is much more serious than what you see on the surface. This type of burn may take weeks or months to heal, and proper care should be taken to avoid the risk of infection. 

Third-Degree Burns

Third-degree burns are the most severe type of burn because they extend past all the layers of skin and often damage the organs too – leading to permanent nerve damage or death – which is why it’s important to seek emergency medical treatment immediately!

Who Could be Held Responsible for Your Burn Injury?

When it comes to the types and amount of compensation you receive after you suffer burn injuries,  there are a host of factors that will affect what’s given, including who was responsible for your burn injury.  

Potential parties who could be responsible include:

  • The manufacturer of a defective product
  • The company at which the burn injury was obtained 
  • Any negligent individual whose actions lead to you obtaining a burn injury 

Typically, you can file a burn injury claim where any of the parties behaved negligently. Negligence in the instance of burn injuries can be proved where the responsible party owed you a duty of care and breached that duty. Where the breach of duty resulted in your burn injuries, you are likely able to claim damages. 

It’s important to know whether you were entirely or partially liable for your injury. If the other party was at fault, then it is very likely that they will have a legal responsibility for compensating damages. But if the burn injury accident wasn’t entirely the other party’s, you could still recover some damages. 

Hiring an experienced Tampa burn injury attorney can help your chances of winning a personal injury lawsuit and take some stress off of the process while you recover from your burn injuries.
