Compensation for Burn Injury Victims

Greene Broillet & Wheeler, LLP, obtained the largest single plaintiff's personal injury verdict in California in a products liability case involving a burn injury. We recovered a record $58 million on behalf of a man who suffered severe burns because of defective O-ring.

That record-setting case is one of numerous multimillion-dollar verdicts and settlements we have obtained for clients in burn injury claims.

Our attorneys have prevailed in burn injuries caused by defective products, auto defects, motor vehicle accidents, electrical accidents, construction accidents, industrial accidents and dangerous equipment and machinery.

Burn injuries are among the most painful type of injury anyone can endure. They can require multiple surgeries, including plastic surgery. Even then, the remaining scars can last a lifetime.

Types of Burn Injuries

  • Thermal burns from hot objects and flames
  • Scalds from hot liquids
  • Chemical burns and associated fumes from caustic chemicals and combinations of chemicals
  • Explosions can occur in car accidents, construction site accidents and in industrial settings as well as at home
  • Electrical burns from defective products or failure to follow proper lock out/tag out procedures

Whether your burn injury occurred when a defective gas tank exploded after a car accident or because of faulty wiring in an electrical product, you can rely on our lawyers to maximize the amount of your catastrophic injury claim.

To discuss your burn injury case, please contact Greene Broillet & Wheeler, LLP. We represent severely injured clients in the Los Angeles area and throughout Southern California and the entire state. We also consult with attorneys and clients nationwide.

Impact to Change

Much of our firm's work involves taking on large corporations, insurance companies and government agencies. By and large, these entities oppose change and will expend seemingly unlimited resources to preserve the status quo. At GB&W, we relish taking on this level of opposition. Through our many years of practice, our personal injury lawyers and staff have achieved unparalleled success in trial and other forums against these opponents. Taking on these companies serves a dual purpose. First, our efforts help our clients recover the compensation they need to move forward after a life-changing injury. Secondly, our work makes communities safer places to live. In this way, everyone can benefit from our work.
