The Reality of Burn Recovery
In Oklahoma, many burn injuries occur in the energy sector—pipeline ruptures, rig explosions, and chemical fires. These are not simple accidents; they are often the result of gross negligence.
We work with specialists at major burn centers to document:
- Debridement Procedures: The painful daily removal of dead tissue.
- Skin Grafting: Multiple surgeries taking skin from healthy areas to cover burns.
- Contracture Release: Surgeries to fix tightened skin that limits movement.
- Thermoregulation Issues: The permanent loss of the ability to sweat or regulate body heat.
Workers' Comp is Not Enough
If you were burned on the job, Workers' Compensation will pay for your medical bills, but it offers very little for your pain and disfigurement. We look for Third Party Liability:
- Equipment Manufacturers: Did a valve fail?
- Subcontractors: Did another company on the site cause the spark?
- Property Owners: Was the site inherently dangerous?
