Burn Injuries

Burned at work or in an industrial accident? Leatherwood Law is here to help you recover.

Houston burn injury lawyer Hogan Leatherwood

Burn injuries are among the most painful and life-altering types of trauma a person can suffer. Whether caused by a fire, explosion, chemical spill, or electrical malfunction, these injuries often lead to permanent scarring, disability, and emotional trauma.

At Leatherwood Law, we represent individuals and workers throughout Houston who’ve suffered serious burn injuries—particularly in industrial, oilfield, and construction settings. We’ll fight to hold employers, contractors, and property owners accountable when safety failures lead to catastrophic harm.

Burn injury cases often involve more than workers' compensation. If negligence, defective equipment, or OSHA violations played a role, you may have a personal injury claim as well.

We pursue full compensation for medical treatment, lost income, plastic surgery, rehabilitation, and long-term care. Let us take on the legal battle while you focus on healing.

Thermal burns from fires or explosions
Chemical burns from spills or toxic exposure
