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

Burn Injury FAQs
What compensation can I recover after a serious burn injury at work in Houston?
You can pursue medical costs, lost income, and pain and suffering when negligence caused the burn injury. Severe burns often involve future treatment, scarring, and long-term impairment damages.
Can I sue if my burn injury was caused by defective equipment?
Yes, a defective product or unsafe equipment can create third-party liability beyond the employer. Product and contractor claims are often where full damages become available.
What should I do immediately after a workplace burn injury?
Get emergency medical care immediately and report the incident in writing. Then preserve photos of the hazard, equipment, and work area and keep all treatment records.
Do chemical burns and electrical burns change the legal claim?
The legal core is still negligence and causation, but the investigation and evidence differ by burn type. Exposure sources, safety procedures, and equipment condition often determine liability.
