Severe Burn Injury

Seeking Maximum Compensation for Burn Injuries

A severe burn injury can be one of the most painful and disabling injuries. It can result in scarring, disfigurement and life-long disability. Depending on the seriousness of a burn injury, skin grafts and numerous plastic surgeries may be needed to repair tissues and skin damaged by fire, chemicals, or electricity.

If your or someone you love has been burned as a result of someone else's negligence, contact our law firm or call us toll free at 1.800.242.2962 to obtain a free case evaluation by a nationally recognized personal injury attorney at our offices in Atlanta or Columbus, Georgia.

At Butler, Wooten & Fryhofer, we have had a great deal of success recovering compensation for injuries and deaths caused by fires. In one fire-related claim in Fulton County, we were able to negotiate a $2,750,000 cash settlement in a wrongful death claim. Our client died in a fire on the 6th floor of the Peachtree 25th Building in Atlanta. The building owner and manager were negligent and inadequate fire safety protection contributed to the death.

No firm in America has done more to benefit real people injured because of the greed, carelessness or negligence of large companies or other people. We know how to hold negligent parties responsible for burn injuries, including those caused by:

  • Faulty Wiring
  • Unsafe Premises
  • Lack of Fire Alarms or Sprinkler Systems
  • Failure to Install and Maintain Smoke Alarms
  • Negligent Building Maintenance
  • Explosions
  • Toxic Chemicals

Plaintiffs Lynn and Douglas Wheeler won their design defect and failure to warn claims against Ford Motor Company relating to the 2002 Ford Explorer. On Christmas morning 2005, 58 year old Lynn Wheeler was on her way to church with her family. Lynn Wheeler was seated in the rear center seat of her son’s 2002 Ford Explorer, wearing the lap-only seat belt Ford installed for that seating position. Two of Lynn Wheeler’s grandchildren were in child seats on either side of her. As they entered a curve on Noah’s Ark Road, a 2-door Eagle Talon coupe driven by John C. Stanley crossed the centerline and struck the Explorer head-on.
