What You Need to Know About Burn Injury Claims in Florida

Burn injury cases are typically classified as catastrophic injury claims, especially when they involve deep tissue damage, permanent scarring, or long-term disability.

Florida’s no-fault insurance system (PIP) may cover initial medical expenses in vehicle-related cases. However, severe burn injuries often allow victims to pursue claims against the at-fault party.

Burn injuries are categorized by severity:

  • First-degree burns – Affect the outer layer of skin
  • Second-degree burns – Involve deeper layers and may cause blistering
  • Third-degree burns – Destroy skin layers and may damage nerves
  • Fourth-degree burns – Extend into muscle and bone

More severe burns often require surgeries, skin grafts, and long-term rehabilitation.

Not sure where to start? Andrew Pickett Law is here to provide personal injury legal representation and guidance.

Common Causes of Burn Injuries in Florida

Burn injuries can occur in a wide range of situations, many of which are preventable.

Common causes include:

  • Car collisions and truck accidents, especially those involving fires or explosions
  • Workplace accidents, including electrical or chemical burns
  • Defective products, such as malfunctioning appliances or batteries
  • Residential fires caused by faulty wiring or unsafe conditions
  • Chemical exposure in industrial or cleaning environments
  • Hot liquid or steam burns (scalding)

In Brevard County, both residential and industrial settings present risks for burn-related injuries.

What Should You Do After a Burn Injury?

Burn injuries require immediate and ongoing medical attention. The steps you take early can affect both your recovery and your legal claim.

  1. Seek Immediate Medical Care
    Burn injuries can worsen quickly and may require specialized treatment. Facilities like Holmes Regional Medical Center provide emergency care.
  2. Follow All Treatment Plans
    Ongoing care, including surgeries and therapy, should be carefully documented.
  3. Preserve Evidence
    Take photos of injuries, the accident scene, and any defective products involved.
  4. Avoid Speaking With Insurance Companies Alone
    Insurers may attempt to minimize the severity of your injuries.
  5. Contact a Lawyer Early
    Burn injury cases often require immediate investigation and expert involvement.

Let’s talk about your case, and your options for justice.

How a Florida Burn Injury Lawyer Can Help

Burn injury cases often involve complex medical and legal issues. A thorough approach is necessary to fully understand the long-term impact.

Andrew Pickett Law helps clients by:

  • Investigating the cause of the injury
  • Identifying all responsible parties
  • Working with medical specialists and burn experts
  • Calculating long-term treatment and care costs
  • Evaluating scarring and disfigurement damages
  • Negotiating with insurance companies
  • Preparing cases for trial when necessary

This level of preparation is essential in cases involving significant, life-altering injuries.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

Burn injuries often result in substantial financial and personal losses. Compensation should reflect both immediate and long-term impacts.

You may be entitled to recover damages for:

  • Medical expenses (current and future)
  • Surgeries, skin grafts, and rehabilitation
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress and psychological trauma
  • Scarring and disfigurement

In severe cases, compensation may also include long-term care and support needs.

Andrew Pickett Law evaluates each case carefully to ensure all damages are fully accounted for.

Common Challenges People Face With Burn Injury Cases

Burn injury claims often present unique challenges that can affect the outcome.

Some of the most common include:

  • Disputes over the cause of the injury
  • Insurance companies minimizing long-term care needs
  • Difficulty valuing scarring and disfigurement
  • Multiple liable parties in product or workplace cases
  • High-value claims facing increased scrutiny

These issues require a strategic, evidence-based approach.

"I am so very grateful to have had this firm represent me. I was in a car accident a few years ago, but the car insurance company of the person who totaled my car would not replace my car, nor pay for my medical bills. We ended up going to court and because of Mr. Pickett, we won the case. Thank you so much for all you did for us!!!!"

My experience is based on 2 settlements so far, still pending another case and 1 of the already settled cases M&M took but didn't want to keep after stringing me along for 4 months. So just choose Andrew Pickett Law, don't waste time with another injury attorney. Tiffany Whitehouse is great, she was confident in my cases, kept me informed and very accommodating. We didn't even have to go to court for those 2 cases. And because I had already trusted them with 2 cases, I also gave them a third case which settled quickly. My only regret, I just wish I had known about them sooner. Thanks for everything! I have already recommended my friends and clients and will continue.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I cannot say enough amazing things about Tiffany Whitehouse and her entire team. From the very beginning, I felt genuinely cared for, supported, and prioritized throughout my entire experience. Tiffany is an absolute powerhouse her knowledge, confidence, and attention to detail truly set her apart from any attorney I’ve ever worked with. She knows her craft inside and out, and you can feel that level of expertise in every interaction. What really stood out to me was how responsive and efficient everyone was. Communication was always clear and timely, and I was never left wondering about the status of my case. Tiffany and her paralegal, Vonda, worked seamlessly together and made everything feel organized and stress-free. Vonda was incredibly kind, attentive, and always made sure I had what I needed. They both went above and beyond in ways that made a stressful situation feel manageable. I also want to recognize the admin team, especially Lauren and Hailey. They were so welcoming, helpful, and professional every time I interacted with them. It’s clear that this entire office operates with a high level of care, compassion, and dedication to their clients. Another thing that truly stood out to me was how thorough and patient everyone was when answering my questions. No matter how many I had, they took the time to explain everything in detail and made sure I fully understood even if it took 20 minutes. That level of patience and dedication meant so much and made me feel confident every step of the way. What meant the most to me is that they didn’t treat me like just another case they truly cared about me as a person. They checked in regularly, made sure I felt supported, and consistently went the extra mile. That kind of genuine compassion is rare to find. If you’re looking for a legal team that is not only highly skilled but also truly invested in you, I wholeheartedly recommend Andrew Pickett Law. They exceeded all of my expectations and I am beyond grateful for everything they’ve done for me. Thank you all SO incredibly much!
