Frequently Asked Questions About Burn Injury Claims

  • How long do I have to file a burn injury claim in Texas?

     Texas law generally allows two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. However, waiting too long can make it harder to gather evidence and build a strong case.

  • Can I recover damages if I was partially at fault for my injury?

     Yes. Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can recover damages as long as you are less than 51 percent at fault. However, your total compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of fault.

  • How much is my burn injury case worth?

     The value of a burn injury case depends on the severity of the injury, medical expenses, lost income, and long-term care needs. Settlements and verdicts in these cases often reach six or seven figures due to the lifelong impact of the injury.

  • What if my burn injury was caused by a defective product?

     If a defective product caused your burn, you may have a product liability claim. These cases require strong evidence and expert testimony to prove that the product was faulty and directly caused your injuries.
